Cross-domain autonomy: Turning AI investment into measurable value

• Creating quantifiable ROI and OPEX transformation: Using AN operations to reduce cross-domain triage costs by up to 80% and mitigating silent service degradations before they impact enterprise and consumer revenue
• Using a Business Intent Extension Model (BIEM) to bridge the gap between C-suite revenue goals and closed-loop network execution
• Lessons learned from TM Forum Moonshot Catalysts and how CSP-hyperscaler-ISV co-innovation accelerates standards adoption across the Americas
• Overcoming internal organizational silos between network operations, IT, and commercial business units to foster algorithmic trust

Abhitabh Kushwaha, AVP - AI Networks, Verizon 

14:45 – 15:00 
Grounding agentic operations: Building the data foundations for cross-domain autonomy

• Creating a data foundation capable of supporting reliable autonomous decisions across network domains
• Connecting data across OSS environments to give agents a coherent, real-time view of the network
• Building verification and feedback loops that confirm that autonomous actions deliver the intended outcome 
• Moving from targeted use cases towards increasingly autonomous cross-domain operations 

Kumar Vishwanathan, Chief Product Officer, AXON Networks  
Shaun Hawkinson, Principal Architect, Lumen 

15:00 – 15:30 
Panel: How close are we to end-to-end autonomy?  
The future autonomous network will span mobile, fiber, cloud, edge, transport, and satellite environments, orchestrated dynamically through AI-native operations and intent-based automation. In this session, join us as we explore how CSPs are approaching cross-domain orchestration, ubiquitous connectivity, and end-to-end autonomous assurance across increasingly complex infrastructures. 

• Can we really orchestrate the entire network? 
• Where does cross-domain autonomy work - and where does it fail? 
• What breaks when you try to scale across domains? 
• How far can intent-driven operations go? 
• What does it take to deliver connectivity everywhere?
