Nokia AI: Agentic AI Framework for Network Services

Nokia is adding an agentic AI framework to its network services platform. This will allow operators to use AI agents with trusted data inside secure boundaries. What's interesting is this move helps customers bring AI operations to IP networks. The agents can take guided, explainable actions using real network data. Commercial availability for this functionality is expected by the end of the year. Nokia's platform already manages and automates multi-vendor IP networks. The company says this AI addition supports communication with external agents. It will help operators move towards fully automated networks. Nokia explained that many operators have been careful with AI due to concerns about explainability, trust, and risk. Their new approach addresses these concerns by embedding agentic AI directly into the platform. The first agent using this framework is a troubleshooting bot to help operators find and fix network problems faster. This could significantly enhance network operations and speed up the journey to autonomous networks.
