AI is reshaping the way networks are planned, managed, and optimized. In this conversation with Ben Hickey, Director of Portfolio Management & M&A, IBM, and Sanil Nambiar, Program Director, IBM, we explore how IBM Network Intelligence is bringing automation, predictive insights, and trust into next-generation network operations. With its deep expertise across enterprise IT and carrier-grade systems, IBM is uniquely positioned to apply AI at scale.
From automating issue detection and remediation to aligning CapEx with real network demand, IBM is driving a new era of AI-driven networking.
