Building trust in agentic AI: How agents collaborate securely across domains
- Networks now coordinate intelligence—across vehicles, robots, sensors, and the network itself. The key challenge: enabling AI systems to act together across provider and domain boundaries.
- The industry's biggest gap isn't AI ambition—it's trust infrastructure. Over half of telecom AI projects never reach production due to missing foundations for trusted, cross-boundary intelligence.
- Multi-agent systems need standardized interaction protocols like A2A and MCP for discovery, negotiation, and collaboration across organizational lines. Equally critical is domain-specific network AI that unifies heterogeneous elements without compromising sovereignty or compliance.
- The TM Forum AI & Data Mission is chartering the industry response. This session presents a scalable architecture for trusted AI—covering system identity, shared intelligence across providers, and the path from isolated PoCs to interoperable systems at scale.
- The session outlines the blueprint's building blocks: governance standards, domain-specific AI as sovereign foundations, and cloud-native security architectures built for multi-agent governance—engineering trust into AI-native networks from the ground up.

12:35 - 12:55
Securing the Agentic NOC: Engineering Trust, Identity and Governance for Multi-Agent Telecom Operations
- How A2A and MCP enable secure agent-to-agent collaboration across domains and partners
- How identity, access control, and trust are designed into AI-native, agentic architectures
- A production-ready security blueprint for interoperable, multi-agent systems

Lunch briefing - green & resilience development forum
As the AI revolution accelerates, CSPs face a critical inflection point — balancing business and AI demands with global net-zero targets. Yet, building the infrastructure for tomorrow requires more than just scaling up power. Core networks must be transformed to be fundamentally green and resilient, shifting from reactive compliance to proactive, AI-driven sustainability. To find out, Green & Resilient Development Forum will unpack the architectural foundations and comprehensive frameworks needed for next-generation AI infrastructure.
