AI-native OSS: From access to intent
The telecom industry has spent years debating what makes OSS "AI-native", often focusing on whether a platform could function without AI. This session proposes a more practical definition: an AI-native OSS is one where users can achieve outcomes through intent, without requiring a new dashboard, report or integration every time they need an answer.
We'll explore how operators can move from building access to enabling intent, what separates data, information and knowledge in an OSS environment, and the foundations needed to make intent-driven operations possible. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for assessing their own OSS transformation journey and identifying where to focus next.
