Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing for Operational Excellence in Next-Generation 5G Telecom Networks

The global deployment of 5G technology has revolutionized telecommunications by enabling ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and massive device connectivity. This paper proposes a unified framework that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing to optimize large-scale telecom operations. Through predictive analytics, autonomous network orchestration, and AI-driven cybersecurity, the framework demonstrates measurable improvements in operational efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Empirical results show significant enhancements in network uptime, cost reduction, SLA compliance, energy efficiency, and incident response times, validating the transformative potential of AI–Cloud–5G integration.
