A summary of the article states that telecommunications networks are drowning in complexity, a problem that must be solved to build future-ready 6G networks. Nearly 90% of businesses surveyed by McKinsey last year said they are using AI for at least one business function. The current 5G standard focused on connecting more devices, while next-generation 6G will be about connecting intelligence and adaptability. Today's networks generate data but lack the intelligence to turn it into actionable insights, with teams operating in silos. AI changes traffic shape with less predictable bursts, and tools built for yesterday's networks are not viable for tomorrow's. As networks transition to 6G, providers must build in distributed intelligence from the start, but networks must first become AI-ready. AT&T is moving network functions to on-premises cloud servers and using AI-powered development tools. BT Group recently took a step focused on transforming customer experience through cloud-native modernization.
