Panel: What makes a network genuinely AI-ready?

Higher bandwidth alone does not make a network AI-ready. Different AI workloads require different combinations of capacity, latency, resilience, security, sovereignty and operational accountability. 

• What do different workloads require from the infrastructure ecosystem?  

• When does connectivity become material to the performance or economics of AI?  

• What should qualify as an ‘AI-grade’ connectivity service?  

• What do customers need carriers to guarantee?  

• Can performance be assured across multiple networks and infrastructure owners? 

• Should one provider take responsibility for the complete service? 

• How much standardisation is needed to allow customers to compare AI connectivity services?
