AI offers transformation in telecoms with abilities like "learning, reasoning, perception, problem solving, data analysis and language comprehension", Bharti Airtel said in response to ET's queries. "Airtel has partnered Google to bring together each of their respective strengths in connectivity and AI technology to develop industry-leading AI/ML (machine learning) solutions that Airtel will train on its large data sets." Bharti Airtel is also using AI in areas such as anti-spam solutions, data mining for site installations, predictive analysis for network management and self-healing, and green 5G through efficient energy usage. Meanwhile, Reliance Jio plans to offer affordable and personalised AI-as-a-service or AI agent applications on top of these models through Jio Brain - a full stack enterprise suite. Jio Brain, which offers ML-as-a-service for enterprises, doesn't need users to have costly infrastructure to build AI applications. "You can just tag on to JioBrain, and we'll launch that in the coming quarters as we perfect the use cases for that," Aakash Ambani, chairman, Reliance Jio, said at an event last week. However, AI in networks presents challenges. ML is helping operators cut costs with network automation, predictive maintenance but "scaling these solutions across complex, multi-vendor environments remains a hurdle", said Nitesh Bansal, global CEO and managing director, R Systems, a digital engineering firm.
