So what are these new AI virtual assistants? Are they genies with supernatural powers? Andrew Coward, GM of Software Networking from IBM, shares some insights:
- AI's potential in managing holistic networks: Andrew discusses how AI can enhance the performance of applications by managing networks end-to-end. He emphasizes that even a slight delay in application performance can significantly impact user experience and sales, and AI can play a crucial role in preventing such issues.
- The prerequisites for AI in networking: Andrew likens AI to a genie that needs to be omniscient and omnipotent to function effectively. He explains that for AI to work efficiently in networking, it must have access to all data from various network elements and the power to make changes and fix issues across the network infrastructure.
- The transformative power of AI: Andrew talks about how AI can automate problem-solving in networking. He mentions that AI can take a problem ticket, enrich it with relevant data, suggest solutions, and eventually be allowed to implement these solutions. He also discusses the potential of AI in predicting network issues and dynamically reconfiguring the network to prevent them.
Join us as we discuss the future of networking, where AI plays a pivotal role in managing and enhancing network performance.
