Rami Raheem from HPE highlighted the necessity of AI-powered self-driving networks for managing modern network complexity and cyber threats. He explained that human intervention is insufficient for handling the vast number of connected devices and the speed required for network operations, from deployment to issue remediation.
“Gone are the days where humans can keep up with the complexity and overcoming the cyber attacks that are happening using elbow grease. You must leverage agents and artificial intelligence in order to deliver a seamless connectivity experience to everyone and everything.”
“It's not just people that are connected to network today. It's AI agents. It's billions of things in fact. You can't do this manually. It must be done using artificial intelligence.”
“And everything from the deployment of the network or speed matters, to the identification of issues that inevitably happen, to the remediation of those issues needs to be done without human intervention.”
