Artificial intelligence (AI) and the elements that make up the cloud are converging to enable the next level of smart technology, which will allow networks to run with minimal to no human intervention. With AI, future networks will be more predictive and intelligent, programmed to automatically make recommendations, implement policies and respond to changes instantly. Tune into this podcast to hear from Ciena's Kailem Anderson as he discusses how AI makes it possible for an autonomous network to configure, monitor and maintain itself independently.
