• Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally transformed Information and Communication Technologies, managing and having even indirect access to an increasing amount of our confidential data, while introducing a paradigm shift in Cybersecurity. AI is no longer just a tool to enhance defense mechanisms; it has become a dual-use technology that defines both the shield and the sword, requiring a deep understanding of how AI can protect systems, how adversaries weaponize it, and, last but not least… how AI solutions themselves can be exploited.

  • Digital Twins are increasingly recognized as a key paradigm for modeling, monitoring, and optimizing complex systems, including communication networks. Their relevance is further amplified by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence, which enables advanced data-driven insights and automation. The keynote will analyze the role of Digital Twins in network operators' operations. The crucial role of measurements in ensuring accurate and reliable digital representations will also be discussed. Finally, a set of representative use cases is presented to illustrate how measurement data can support analysis, prediction, and decision-making in this context.
