Thank you for the interesting question.

Our world is embracing AI and Nokia will play a critical role in the AI supercycle, especially in the networking space. As we know, communications networks are critical drivers of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation and success. They unlock the potential of AI applications by enabling seamless data transmission between devices, cloud platforms, data centers and edge infrastructure. 

As industries such as manufacturing, education, finance, healthcare, transport and government embrace AI-driven mission-critical services, they need robust connectivity to make sure these services can function efficiently. Telecommunication providers are evolving networks to deliver high performance, secure connectivity ready to seize the opportunities of AI. Service providers are turning to AI to simplify network operations, optimize performance, improve security, reduce energy consumption, and predict and prevent downtime.

Advancing connectivity for the AI supercycle helps AI and cloud providers to scale faster with advanced optical and IP connectivity. AI-RAN, as we know, is the fusion of innovation in AI and Radio Access Networks (RAN) to the mutual benefit of both. AI helps enhance the efficiency of mobile networks and mobile networks have the potential to elevate consumer and enterprise applications that use AI to the next level. Radio access networks, which feature an increasing amount of geographically highly distributed computing capabilities in proximity to human users and robotic systems, will benefit from AI and vice versa. There is a wide industry alignment, also supported by the AI-RAN Alliance.

All the above have resulted in a lot of passion and energy with the ideal mindset across Nokia to participate and lead this AI Supercycle journey.

I hope this helped. I wish you the best.
