With the introduction of network virtualization and the implementation of 5G/IoT, mobile networks will offer
more diversified services and be more complex. This raises a concern about a significant rise in network
operation workload. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is making remarkable progress and is
expected to solve human resource shortages in various fields. Likewise, the mobile industry is gaining
momentum toward the application of AI to network operation to improve the efficiency of mobile network
operation. This paper will discuss the possibility of applying AI technology to network operation and presents
some use cases to show good prospects for AI-driven network operation.
