Ericsson: AI-powered autonomous networks are required to realize 5G value: Jean-Christophe Laneri

Laneri emphasizes the commercialization of 5G Standalone (5G SA) as a critical enabler because it provides the foundation for end-to-end network slicing and service innovation through standard APIs. But realizing the full benefits of 5G SA will require a significant increase in network automation and AI-powered decision-making, he adds, noting that Ericsson's role is to help operators scale AI and make it explainable.
