Last week, Research Director Alan Mauldin joined Ciena’s Brian Lavallée for a live webinar exploring the technical and strategic drivers transforming the AI landscape.
To kick things off, Alan explained the impact of training data size, dataset scale, and model complexity on AI capabilities. He then shared how AI could shape the future of long-haul data demand and submarine cable networks.
