[Lecture Overview]

AI is increasingly embedded in daily life and has become a critical component of social infrastructure. In the future, vehicles, home appliances, drones, and other devices will advance toward automation and autonomy. Alongside the sophistication of these devices, social efficiency and new value creation are expected to accelerate.

In this context, significant transformation is required in communication networks that have supported society. While communication networks have continuously evolved with the times, their roles, services, and value propositions are poised for major changes as AI becomes foundational to society.

This lecture will clearly and accessibly explain, with the latest case studies, telecom operators’ own AI utilization, the envisioned next-generation networks for the AI era, and advanced initiatives in the global telecom industry.
