According to Akshay Singh, Analyst at QKS Group, "An AI‑driven networking platform is a software‑centric layer that infuses machine learning and analytics into the control, management, and operations of network infrastructure, enabling closed‑loop, intent‑aligned decision‑making with minimal manual intervention. It continuously ingests telemetry from devices, flows, applications, and environments, learns normal behavior, and then automatically detects anomalies, capacity bottlenecks, and policy violations, triggering remediation, re‑optimization, or adjustments to routing, segmentation, and QoS policies across the underlay and overlay. It also surfaces root‑cause insights, predictive recommendations, and business‑oriented outcomes such as SLA adherence, application‑experience scores, or risk posture so operators manage by intent and KPIs rather than raw CLI‑style configuration.”
