AI and Network Automation: Revolutionizing Management

This chapter examines the integration of AI into network automation, focusing on the fine-tuning of large language models like LAMA 3.1 and 3.2 for networking applications. It highlights the use of retrieval augmented fine tuning (RAFT) to adapt AI models for specific organizational needs and discusses how these innovations simplify network management through natural language interactions. Real-world applications in various industries showcase the technology's potential to democratize sophisticated network management, improve troubleshooting processes, and enhance decision-making through integrated data analysis.
