AI is moving beyond centralized training toward distributed inference, sovereign AI, and agent-based applications. This shift makes the network a critical part of the AI infrastructure, influencing GPU efficiency, application response time, security, and the ability to connect workloads across data centers, clouds, and edge locations. Nokia will outline the market evolution and demonstrate how end-to-end IP and optical networking can help organizations scale their AI infrastructure and convert investments in power and computing resources into usable AI capacity.
