"Operators and vendors view AI agents as key components for autonomous network operations, but the pace of adoption will depend on operators’ trust in the quality of the data that will power these AI agents."
TM Forum held its DTW-Ignite 2025 event in Copenhagen on 17–19 June 2025. ‘Artificial intelligence (AI) and data’ was one of the three key themes of the event, and several operators and vendors made announcements regarding hot topics such as AI agents, agentic AI frameworks and their role in enabling autonomous network operations. It was clear from the event that the telecoms industry is rapidly developing innovations related to these concepts, but there are ongoing challenges in operators’ data environments that will affect the scale and timing of the adoption of agentic AI.
