Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are the next big hype in networking following Software-Defined Everything and Intent-Based Everything. Like with the previous hype bubbles it’s worth figuring out

So, it’s kind of like a traffic manager for information on a computer network, making everything run smoothly and securely.
