Hello Experts.
When will AI & Automation in Telecom become reality in Telecommunications?
Network complexity (mainly with 5G) is growing exponentially, and traditional network O&M model will not be able to handle it anymore…

It is already there, since always. 
Since first day when Performance Management, Daily Basis Management and Fault Management, Configuration Managment was there in network management system!
Sine always, Telecom was using AI - it’s a simple mahematical probability and bitrate analysis in modulation process in user interface & signalling interface and utilization reports. 
The only difference is that now it is using different protocol and using different layers in 5G.
