Stage B
The Autonomous Networks PathwayThis masterclass focuses on the fundamental pillars of Autonomous Networks, explaining how AI-powered agents, intent-driven automation, and self-healing capabilities work together to enable Level 4 autonomy. Participants will gain insights into intent-based decision-making, the role of AI in real-time assurance and optimization, and how self-healing networks proactively detect and resolve issues. Through interactive discussions and case studies, this session will help CSPs design a robust AN architecture that supports intelligent, autonomous operations.
