February 18, 2026 -IEEE Webinar – AI-Enabled 5G Private Networks: Accelerating Industrial Automation and Intelligence
IEEE Webinar – AI-Enabled 5G Private Networks: Accelerating Industrial Automation and Intelligence
Abstract: The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 5G private networks is redefining the landscape of industrial automation. As enterprises look for secure, resilient, and high-performance infrastructure, AI-enabled 5G private networks emerge as a foundational technology empowering real-time decision-making, predictive maintenance, and intelligent orchestration at the edge. This session explores how industries such as oil & gas, manufacturing, and utilities are leveraging AI and 5G to drive operational efficiency, safety, and scalability. We will discuss deployment architectures, transformative use cases, and lessons from early adopters, with a focus on the U.S. market’s rapid progress enabled by CBRS spectrum and hyperscale ecosystems. Attendees will gain insights into how AI and 5G together form the dual engines of Industry 4.0 unlocking new levels of agility, intelligence, and control. Join us to understand why private networks are no longer a luxury but an industrial necessity. Topics covered: • What is 5G private network and why 5G? • Industry 4.0 Transformation Vision for Industry • Why Industries Need AI + 5G Now • Transformative AI + 5G Use Cases Across Industries • U.S. Market Trends: 5G Private Network Adoption • Conclusion & Q&A *This webinar will be recorded Speaker Bio Junaid Ahmed is a Telecom AI Strategist with over 16 years of experience in core network design, industrial connectivity, and digital transformation. He leads strategic initiatives focused on AI-powered 5G private networks, autonomous network evolution, and intelligent service orchestration. Junaid has driven large-scale projects across oil & gas, manufacturing, and utilities bridging technology and business to enable Industry 4.0.

Latimer Patent Draftsman. Careers in Technology Lewis H. Latimer, Inventor. Patent Draftsman. Author. Edison Pioneer. Lewis H. Latimer was held in the highest regard for his contributions by many and by at least two of the most famous and accomplished inventors and industry leaders of modern times. In addition to his own inventions, he worked side by side with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Edison on transformative innovations such as the first telephone patent in 1876, developing inventions, documenting them in forms suitable for patent filings and legal challenges, drafting patent figures, and serving as an expert witness in patent cases. Latimer also authored a foundational book on electric lighting for field workers, which played an important role in expanding the industry. In numerous documented instances, his talent, technical skill, personal tenacity, and deep expertise made critical contributions to the success of these landmark advancements in technology for humanity. The Telephone Patent, often described as the birth certificate of modern communications (Irwin Gerszberg), ignited a technological legacy whose impact extends far beyond any single invention or narrative. The companies founded by Bell, and the diverse technologies developed within them, have profoundly shaped the modern world, guided by an enduring commitment to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. Within this legacy, Lewis Latimer stands out as an essential role model whose contributions deserve special recognition, particularly on this 150th anniversary of the patent. Bell and Edison were key founding members of the organization that later became the IEEE where the foundation recognizes donors at levels named for Edison, Latimer, and Bell.

SAFE-AGENT-L Framework: Engineering Legal-Safe, Explainable GenAI for Large-Scale Autonomous Systems
Special Presentation by Vasanth Rajendran (Amazon, USA) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, 19 February 2025 @ 12:00 UTC (12 PM GMT) Topic: Autonomous Retail Agents and the SAFE-AGENT-L Framework: Engineering Legal-Safe, Explainable Generative AI for Large-Scale Autonomous Systems Abstract: Next-generation autonomous generative AI systems depend on continuous, low-latency, and highly reliable communication among distributed models, services, and agents to enable real-time decision making at scale. This talk introduces the SAFE-AGENT-L governance and system-design framework for building safe, accountable, and explainable AI-driven retail agents, with explicit focus on the bidirectional relationship between these agents and the underlying communication networks. This presentation examines the concrete requirements that large-scale autonomous agent systems impose on communication networks, including ultra-low-latency coordination, reliable and ordered message delivery, context propagation, distributed observability, and resilience to partial failures. It also discusses how real-world network characteristics such as variable bandwidth, latency spikes, packet loss, and asynchronous communication have shaped the design of safety controls, policy enforcement, and explainability mechanisms within the SAFE-AGENT-L framework. Drawing from applied experience with large-scale generative AI systems and network-mediated workflows, the talk shares lessons that directly inform the design of AI-native future networks, including agent-to-agent communication patterns, adaptive routing of AI control signals, network-supported auditability, and trustworthy automation. The session concludes with implications and recommendations for next-generation communication networks that natively support safe and scalable autonomous AI systems.
