DESCRIPTION:[From AI-RAN to Cognitive Infrastructure: Agentic AI\, Digital 
 Twins\, and Autonomous 6G Networks]\n\nSpecial Presentation by Bhaskara Ra
 ju Rallabandi (Invences Inc.\, USA)\n\nHosted by the Future Networks Artif
 icial Intelligence &amp; Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group\n\nDate/Time: T
 hursday\, 16 July 2026 @ 12:00 UTC (7 AM CDT)\n\nTopic:\n\nFrom AI-RAN to 
 Cognitive Infrastructure: Agentic AI\, Digital Twins\, and Autonomous 6G N
 etworks\n\nAbstract:\n\nAI-RAN represents a transformational shift from AI
 -assisted radio optimization to fully autonomous\, AI-native wireless infr
 astructure. This presentation explores how Agentic AI\, Digital Twins\, ob
 servability\, cloud-native architectures\, and Integrated Sensing and Comm
 unications (ISAC) will enable self-learning\, self-optimizing\, and self-h
 ealing 6G networks. The session will discuss the convergence of AI-RAN\, e
 dge cloud\, enterprise private networks\, Open RAN\, NTN\, and intelligent
  infrastructure while identifying key research challenges\, industry colla
 boration opportunities\, and roadmap priorities. The presentation will als
 o outline steps to help foster collaboration among operators\, OEMs\, clou
 d providers\, AI companies\, the academia\, and standards development orga
 nizations to accelerate the development and deployment of AI-native wirele
 ss systems.\n\nSpeaker:\n\n[Bhaskara Raju Rallabandi]\nBhaskara Raju Ralla
