Autonomous network operations use AI agents that run closed loops over a telecom network, taking an intent from the operator and acting to meet it. For example, given a latency or availability target, the agents observe the network, diagnose deviations and execute corrective actions across radio, transport and core, within guardrails set by engineers and with human approval for major changes.
