    • The Human Element of Connectivity
      Feature
      Members
      Gwenn AmiceApplications of artificial intelligence (AI) dominate public discourse, but will the technology replace the need for people and their knowledge and experience? While AI and automation may help alleviate the skills gap, it is unlikely to replace human solutions. The physical aspects of networks require human expertise, and no amount of virtualization will change this reality. Organizations must invest in training and education to attract and retain talent—even as technology continues to evolve.
