Panel: The AI conundrum: Establishing 'hubs' or edge revival?
21 Oct 2025
Keynote Stage, Peninsula Ballroom, Ground Floor
Futureproofing digital infrastructure for AI
AI-driven demand is reshaping the industry, particularly in the context of foundational training models and inference at the edge of networks. As genAI use cases and adoption expand, there is a shift towards small rationalisation and reasoning models, which need to be located close to the user. This panel will explore:
- Where will AI training hubs be located or will a decentralised model emerge?
- What is the opportunity for telcos to act as the aggregation point between the cloud, network and other sources?
- What impact will AI have on data flow and network infrastructure and how should telcos prepare for this?
- What partnerships will be required to deliver for customers?
