Autonomous networks were one of the dominant themes at Mobile World Congress 2026, but what does it really take to move from AI experimentation to measurable business impact?

In this conversation at the IBM booth, Bev speaks with Rahul Kumar, Senior Partner & Vice President, Global Industry Leader for Telco & Media at IBM.

Together they explore:
Why autonomous networks must be driven by clear business outcomes
How CSPs can move from pilots to productionized AI
Embedding AI into the fabric of the organization
Monetization, cost take-out, and customer experience as transformation drivers
What will differentiate telco leaders in the AI era

IBM shares its own experience embedding AI across the enterprise, and how those learnings are helping CSPs accelerate their journeys.
