Microsoft's Candiani: ‘The name of the game for AI today is how to scale’: Silvia Candiani

Candiani stresses that the key challenge for telcos is scaling AI beyond the proof-of-concept stage to achieve real impact on the bottom line. Ways to do this include establishing a center of excellence to centralize AI engineering and systems expertise and developing AI training programs for both IT and business teams to foster collaboration. She also urges communications service providers to implement a robust data strategy to ensure that high-quality data is being used in AI models and to design scalable architectures that enable consistent AI development and deployment.
