The rise of artificial intelligence comes as operators are managing a number of pre-existing technological transitions—the move to 5G Standalone, the proliferation of disaggregated and open radio systems and long-term modernization efforts that will set the stage for the transition to 5G Advanced and 6G.

In this webinar, speakers will address:

- How operators take gen AI out of call centers and into the network for optimization and automation purposes
- Implications for the telecoms workforce as more traditional network engineering skills transition to a software-centric way of working
- What does it mean to build an AI-native network given that cloud-native is a pre-requisite and operators have yet to fully make that imperative first step?

Webinar speakers  
Michael Raj, Vice President of Network Enablement (AI & Data), Verizon  
Louis Powell, AI Initiatives, **GSMA**  
Leonard Lee, Executive Analyst & Founder, neXt Curve  
Sean Kinney, Editor in Chief, RCR Wireless News
