Autonomous Networks, AI, and Advanced Automation: Telefónica’s Strategy for Building the Network of the Future

Autonomous networks represent the next major evolution in telecommunications. Thanks to artificial intelligence, digital twins, advanced automation and intent-based models, networks no longer merely carry out tasks; they are capable of anticipating needs, making decisions and adapting continuously. Telefónica is leading this transformation through its Autonomous Network Journey (ANJ) programme, driving a new generation of smart networks that enhance the customer experience, optimise operations and accelerate digital innovation.
