Users’ pain points:

• "Stop the auto screen-rotate. It's annoying."

• "Don't let anyone disturb me, except for Richard,

between noon and 2 o'clock."

• "Tomorrow afternoon, remind me of that meetup

for a cup of coffee with that friend.”

Ability to predict (e.g. quality, traffic, and

faults) is the core value of AI. Networks are

scheduled based on unknown conditions.

Goals:

“Prevent a fault before it happens”

“Improve quality before it deteriorates”

“Manage traffic before congestion occurs”

Ultimate goal: automatic, self-optimizing,

self-healing, Just like self-driving & self-

evolving networks with no faults.
