On March 5, Ouyang Ye attended the Autonomous Network for Future-AI, Vertical Oriented New Business Workshop, delivered a keynote speech titled AI Agents Accelerate the Evolution of Autonomous Networks to L4 and participated in a roundtable discussion. He pointed out that Autonomous Network (AN) L4 has become a common goal for global operators in driving the development of autonomous networks. However, what exactly is AN L4? Does it mean that AN L4 is achieved as long as multiple high-value scenarios are realized? By analyzing the definitions of AN L4 provided by standard organizations and operators, AsiaInfo Technologies proposed that AN L4 shall not only involve L4 for networks and network management but also cover L4 for all production factors such as people and culture, and a systematic AN L4 shall be built around this concept. Additionally, AsiaInfo Technologies shared three core challenges currently faced by AN IT technology and system, and presented AI Agent-based solutions. Meanwhile, he demonstrated AsiaInfo Technologies' tool upgrade practice for AN AI Agents, AN Evo, which could aid the operators in advancing AN towards a higher level of development.
