| LFN AI/ML use cases | Muddasar Ahmed presented the draft deck about LFN AI/ML use cases. Maggie shared link: https://www.nist.gov/itl/ai-risk-management-framework We need to have Ops feedback (NOC manager) on AI, what pain point could be solved by AI. Deck shared with Marian from Orange, feedback expected in first week of December. Under WG 11 in ORAN Alliance (doing standards for ORAN) - threat analysis will be done in the domain of AI security - OWASP TOP 10 - planned by March'24. Runtime influence under interest. Maggie shared the link: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/11/26/cisa-and-uk-ncsc-unveil-joint-guidelines-secure-ai-system-development Feedback from Marian received to be discussed at the next SECCOM. China Mobile and Infosys would like to work on use cases. First call done yesterday, agreed on a model to move forward. Intent Based Mode would use Generative AI. 3 layers approach: business layer, services layer, domain layer. Each Intent Manager would have its own AI. Generic model would be used: business language into ONAP consummable, for services more data oriented and finally domain oriented. We do not focus on 5G only architecture but rather on any so could be used by any organization. Topic is in forming group. China Mobile and Infosys interested in Intent context. China Telecom is also interested with focused on user input and Intent. Muddasar Ahmed Byung-Woo Jun Maggie update China Telecom: New Delhi - data service. CCVPN use cases - LLM does not give enough intelligence. Develop domain specific model to generate more intelligent decisions. China Mobile & Infosys: Intent based networking - Level 3 autonomy. Infosys is consulting with MNOs and has experience developing small AI-based autonomous loops. New Delhi release: CM/Infosys will deliver LLM for Intent based networking. Intelligent decision making. Post New Delhi will evaluate if the two tracks can leverage each other. UUI is impacted system for both tracks. No impact to other components NSA/Georgia Tech: AI/ML for security. Collecting and tagging security data to correlate the data. Amy Zwarico provided reference to NIST AI 100-2e2023 Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigations Call this week booked. AI/ML use cases focus group still works on platform and use cases priorities. CCVPN use case and intent based networking. China Mobile and Infosys starting work on that in more downstream. ORAN WG11 is working on security aspects. WG2 (non-real-time RIC) and WG3 (near-real-time RIC) are working on xApps and rApps (AI/ML capabilities). Need to write LF informative position white paper for AI/ML - team to write constitued. Meeting is planned with convinient time for all contributors. Goal is to produce it by DTF.
