According to an IDC report, Artificial Intelligence (AI), alongside 5G, [IoT](https://ubuntu.com/internet-of-things), and cloud computing, is one of the technologies reshaping the [telecom industry](https://ubuntu.com/telco). From data-driven decisions to fully automated and self-healing networks, AI developments are accelerating innovation and driving costs of operation down. However, while it is easier than ever to implement AI solutions in the telecom space, navigating a landscape of multiple databases, workflow engines and ML frameworks remains difficult. Our latest telco whitepaper aims to provide a guide of existing use-cases for AI/ML in mobile networks. Download to discover: * Key questions to consider around core network, radio network, and enterprise IT parts before implementation, by use case * Recommendations of open source software components for building efficient solutions * Operation tips for AI in production [Download whitepaper](https://ubuntu.com/engage/telecom-ai-guide?utm_source=blog) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get the latest Canonical news and updates in your inbox.
