The author, Zac Szewczyk, shared his experience in a working group focused on using AI and machine learning to improve network utilization. He highlighted a customer’s request for AI-based WAN failover, despite simpler existing solutions. This led the group to question whether the solution was driving the requirements. Instead of asking how to improve something, they asked how AI and ML could do the improving. The author suggests that in some cases, a basic algorithm may be more effective than complex AI solutions. This challenges the common perception that AI is always the best answer.
