Key Quotes:

“To really leverage AI, you have to start with a data foundation. Are you collecting enough information? Is the information that you're collecting correct? Have you got good data integrity? And do you have enough of it over time?” 

‍

“The value of private 5G networks lies in empowering enterprises to innovate within their own environments.”

‍

“The biggest cultural challenge is bridging the gap between IT and OT—it’s a dynamic of trust and risk.”
