The next generation of networking: From vision to self-driving reality
Session Code: GS1723
Self‑driving networks are a business imperative in the AI era. As apps, users, and AI workloads demand always‑on, experience‑first connectivity, IT teams must do more with less—while manual operations can’t keep up. In this general session, industry leaders show how self‑driving networks move from vision to reality, using experience‑driven data, agentic AI, and AI‑native architectures to sense, reason, and act—reducing complexity, improving performance, embedding security, and scaling efficiently.
