Masterclass
AI agents are moving rapidly from experimentation towards production, but the telecom industry faces a fundamental challenge: everyone has a different definition of the Agent Factory. How do we create a common architecture that CSPs can trust, adopt and evolve at the speed AI demands?In this masterclass, TM Forum will explore the development of the industry’s AI-Native Agent Factory Blueprint and how we are using it to pioneer a fundamental shift from document-centric standards to Architecture as Code. Discover how machine-readable architecture, AI-assisted contribution and an open-source-style peer-review model can dramatically accelerate industry collaboration — shifting expert effort from months of authoring towards continuous review, validation and improvement.
We’ll explore how a living architecture, mapped into ODA and built by the industry, can provide the common foundation needed to industrialise AI agents, embed trust by design and ultimately move from architecture to reusable patterns and implementation artefacts.
