ITU-T

AI-native networks can contribute to creating better networks that allow for reducing the digital gap (through pervasive and reliable communications) while being sustainable. As a byproduct of the integration of AI in telecommunications, it is expected that the entrance of new players (e.g., virtual operators, AI experts, over-the-top providers) into the ecosystem will increase the competitiveness of the sector, thus positively impacting the investments in the telecommunications infrastructure.

The development of international standards will help provide SMEs, policy makers and regulators with common references thus helping overcome market barriers such as technology fragmentation, thus promoting market growth.
