Telco AI Deep Dive: From Cloud-Native To AI-Native
RCRWirelessNews, Monday, January 22nd, 2024
In the sweep of everything that could be as construed as 'tech,' artificial intelligence (AI) is leading the current hype cycle with visions of broad productivity gains enabled by cloud computing, large language models (LLMs), natural language processing-based user interfaces and text/image generation capabilities.
Telecommunications operators are no exception, shifting messaging to focus on AI for internal optimizations and customer-facing use cases that could generate new service revenues. Also worth noting is that although 6G is years away from standardization, early cuts at describing the next generation of cellular have honed in on the descriptor 'AI-native.' But what does that really mean?
