AI is only as smart as the network it runs on. In this session, we’ll explore how to design and prepare your network infrastructure for AI-driven operations — from predictive maintenance and traffic optimization to automated fault detection and resolution. Learn what data to collect, where to collect it, and how to structure your telemetry, alerting, and config systems to support machine learning models and future automation tools. Whether you’re experimenting with AI or planning for it down the road, this session will help you build a foundation ready for what’s next.
