5G Targets Telcos
I think that this is a great marketing idea to be with them so they both can be if use and value to each other. 5G can make things go faster and run smoother since it's more etc. Let's see how it be in the long run.

Open Source..
> "Embrace artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning to bring about automation and create a self-driving network because complexity is not going to decrease; it will increase and surpass human capabilities. We need the machines to help us."
I think all of that it right on the nose.. but the most advanced machine learning projects don't appear to be open source right now. So there will be some jockeying for position -- if telcos want to adopt AI to help with network management and design.
Re: Open Source..
@mhh: Sure. The self-driving car projects/companies have reportedly snapped up the vast majority of top AI talent, so there's not a lot of crumbs left for open standards/open source in this area.
Give it a decade or two.

By that time, we should be living on Mars, collecting a universal basic income, and wearing AR goggle all the time....

Re: Open Source..
Joe,
It's taking a while for management to adapt to it, but in AI, "talent" (and for that matter, experience and all-around savvy) is just not the bottleneck it has been in previous hot areas of development; what one outfit figures out how to do at all, twenty will improve and a thousand will deploy within a short time. Some people are calling that the "on-ramp to the Singularity" but I think a slightly more sober assessment is that we're just beginning to realize that big data on big global networks is going to drastically accelerate diffusion of ideas and transfer of tech.

Re: Open Source..
Something that sparked in my brain while reading that quote is that CIO may need to know that now, but it won't be too far down the road that the general public will have to have at least a loose grasp on these ideas.

@John:
"'talent' (and for that matter, experience and all-around savvy) is just not the bottleneck it has been in previous hot areas of development"
I agree with you. Thus my use of the word "reportedly". Claims of a "talent shortage", to my mind (and I've seen it firsthand), are a sham as employers practice discriminatory hiring practices and/or seek cheap labor for cents on the dollar.
(For instance: If you wanted to pay your CISO $80-115k a year, and the unwritten job requirements included no one over 40 and no getting pregnant, you'd whine about a talent shortage in cybersecurity too.)

Nixon floated a form of basic income (the "reverse income tax"). Didn't go over well then, and I don't see it going over much better now -- even as increasingly more Millennials identify as "socialists".
As for Mars... According to Arthur C. Clarke, we were supposed to be there already, weren't we?

Just because a basic income didn't work in Nixon's era doesn't mean it won't ever work....

@mhhf1ve yes, you are right as society and people/ideas do change and in some countries it does work if implemented properly...
