Huawei Intelligent Operations Advances AI and Gen-AI in ICT
BARCELONA, Spain, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Operating telecommunications networks is getting more difficult. Networks are converging: fixed and mobile are often both required to provide a given service experience, whether it's an IoT use case or end-to-end network slicing. As networks become more software-driven, operating them requires different skills in maintenance, and assurance. Add to that complexity new technologies like enterprise-oriented APIs and agentic AI. These technologies can optimize network operations for granular service differentiation and prioritize business KPIs over simple uptime. With the right architecture and operational practices, networks can serve much more diverse use cases with a higher degree of reliability. Huawei Can Help Huawei Intelligent Operations works closely with its own network technology engineers as well as with industry standards bodies to guide the evolution of network services, and to ensure it supports all industry best practices. It works closely with the TM Forum, coordinating customer inputs and its own operational vision to create service-centric operational metrics. Thus, Huawei is expanding the boundaries of AI in telecoms operations, devoting intensive research into digital twins and telecoms-specific foundation models. Additionally, it feeds its substantial experience running telecoms networks back into its own operational best practices. Key examples: In the Asia-Pacific region, Huawei collaborated with a carrier to analyze the service impact of faulty sites. The work made use of Huawei's Expected Demand Not Served algorithm, which identifies service usage that is lower than usual, identifies faults that may be leading to depressed usage, and prioritizes fixes to return the network to its designed functionality. This has reduced traffic loss by 15% for this carrier. In the Middle East, Huawei Intelligent Operations significantly improved topology accuracy for an FTTx network, using delay-tolerant network architecture to reduce invalid work orders by 60%, and ultimately, led to a 10% decline in customer complaints. In Europe, Huawei used Gen-AI to improve MTTR by 25%. Huawei's work with the carrier on role-based copilots for field maintenance personnel and multi-agent collaboration to provide comprehensive treatment of complex scenarios. "Huawei Intelligent Operations believes not only in helping its CSP partners conquer its existing operational challenges, but in helping them harness the latest technology to drive new business benefits across the company" – Kevin Ye, President, Intelligent Operation Domain, Huawei Gen-AI Applications and Challenges The dramatic rise of generative AI has led to two basic operational models: copilots and agents. Copilots help a human employee for coding, configuring systems, or managing a stream of service quality data and trouble tickets. Agents are more devoted to a specific set of tasks or operational concerns, and can operate independently under the supervision of a human employee. In order to use Gen-AI, these tools must address the following concerns: Huawei Intelligent Operations can help. DeepSeek: The Next Generation of Gen-AI The January 2025 introduction of DeepSeek proved that Gen-AI could provide all of its current capabilities with a much more efficient model. Huawei's research indicates that DeepSeek provides advantages such as domain knowledge construction and application, code generation, data analysis, and intelligent ticket processing have direct application to CSP operations. Huawei is at the forefront of applying these new models to telecoms infrastructure. Huawei's Vision for ICT Operations Huawei believes that ICT technology will continue to play an important role in driving the digital economy, with new technologies acting as intelligent accelerators. Reliable network operations and intelligent operations will continue to grow in importance. Huawei continues to invest heavily in R&D to support these advancements, and will continue to accelerate the transformation toward intelligent operation. Recently, Huawei has collaborated with TM Forum and leading carriers to release annual versions of the New-Generation Intelligent Operations W hite P aper 3.0

Google Unveils Gen-AI Video Tool with Camera Controls, Consistent Character Design, and Even Sound
Generative AI filmmaker Dave Clark has tried 'every tool under the sun' for making his artificially intelligent movies, most famously for his viral short 'Battalion.' But even in the year since he released that video, the technology around Gen-AI has advanced considerably, and he believes that what was considered innovative back then can now be pushed even further. On Tuesday, Google at its I/O event unveiled Flow, a generative-AI video generation tool powered by Google's latest AI model, Veo 3. Clark was one of the AI filmmakers who collaborated with Google Labs on the functionality and interface of the new tool such that it was designed with filmmakers and creators in mind. Suffice it to say, he's impressed by the results. More from IndieWire Christian Petzold on His Cannes Debut and How His Actors Changed the Script: 'I Have to Destroy My Own Concrete Behavior' Quentin Tarantino Inks 'Making of' Book Deal Series for All of His Films, Starting with 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' 'My mind is still blown by the level of control,' Clark told IndieWire ahead of the launch of Flow. 'This is for me as a filmmaker, this is what I've been waiting for. You've put in the 10,000 hours, you struggle through these prompts, and you use these different systems. But all we really hope for is that level of control that I feel like we finally got some sense of it, and it's a long time coming for being so early in it.' Flow has camera controls that allow filmmakers to specifically articulate the movement and visual angle they want to create for a shot as though they're directing a cinematographer. It has a feature called Scenebuilder that allows filmmakers to generate a scene, and then extend it while keeping all of their character designs and locations consistent and intact. Creators can upload and combine multiple reference images that will match things like faces, clothing, and locations, doing so with hyper-specific detail. Flow also allows for more natural language in prompt writing, such that it understands visual language of screenwriting and granular technical details like lens choices, lighting conditions, focal lengths, or film grain. It's even capable of generating sound in real time with the video generation, including sound effects, background music, and dialogue. Clark and his AI production banner Promise are using Flow to create a new AI-generated short called 'Freelancers' about two adopted brothers who each, through separate paths, become international spies and hitmen. He described one scene he generated in which his two protagonists are sitting in a diner, complete with an establishing shot with a slow dolly in. He then prompted the model to use a dynamic, handheld camera motion, followed by a tracking shot of the two characters running. 'And it did it! To see the way that the camera was shaking, it's this exact same way I would probably film it if I was in that restaurant. It was pretty cool, and I haven't seen that level of [control],' Clark said. It wasn't that long ago that OpenAI unveiled its Sora video model; AI filmmakers we spoke to then were stunned that it had 'prompt adherence,' where you can articulate one thing to happen and then have something else happen to that figure within the same sequence. Flow and Veo 3 demonstrated an even more advanced capability, in which a scene creators have generated can then be dragged and extended on a timeline to effectively continue the action and even lengthen the duration of an individual shot beyond the 6 – 8 seconds the model would normally generate. Clark likened it to virtually being able to create his own '1917' style 'oner' should he want to, with the action extending from location to location even as the character remains the same. 'Let's say it's a guy driving a car around the Amalfi Coast. With Scenebuilder inside Flow, the director in me was able to block out the rest of the scene,' Clark explained. 'So maybe it starts off inside the car with the guy driving, then it's POV, then I could switch to a wide shot, and the way Flow works is it actually knows all of the information that was put in, all the prompts, the way the character looks, the way the Amalfi Coast and the road looks, the color of the car. It's able to translate that information into the next cut or scene or edit, if you will, and continue on that narrative.' Clark said he got as specific as articulating the scene to look as though it was shot with a 50mm lens all the way up to a 135mm long lens, and Flow not only understands, but can then marry that work with specific blocking. Matthieu Kim Lorrain, Creative Lead at Google DeepMind, and Thomas Iljic, Product Lead at Google Labs, spoke with IndieWire about understanding someone like Clark's creative process in order to inform how Flow should operate, and they were stunned by what he and others were able to create with what they thought was, at the time, bare-bones functionality. 'Show and tell is important. They don't want just to type text,' Iljic said. 'They want to bring in these elements, these ingredients. They want consistency across shots. They want to have projects to start managing the structure, because it's so many files, wondering how am I going to put this thing together?' Lorrain added that the key word for AI filmmakers is 'customization,' and five different AI filmmakers might have five different workflows, or even one filmmaker might have a different method for a different project, and that's all built into Flow. 'Sometimes you need image to video because actually you want to start from a composition. You want to really curate the perfect image and then expand,' Lorrain said. 'Sometimes it's world-building. And in the case of world-building, that's why we have the ingredients so you can define your characters, find your environment, and they want that. That's the type of control. It's not just control on how they can control the video, but also control on how they can design the creative process for each project.' Clark's Promise earlier today announced additional funding from Google's AI Future Fund, as well as Crossbeam Venture Partners, Kivu Ventures, and Saga Ventures. But Google is also partnering with two other filmmakers on the launch of Flow, including Henry Daubrez and Junie Lau. Flow is also available now to subscribers of Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra plans in the U.S., with more countries coming soon. Clark isn't sure what the specific next frontier is with the rapidly evolving technology, but he does believe that as the tools become more accessible, it's incumbent on creators to at least understand it. 'I always reference the James Camerons and the George Lucases, some of the top filmmakers were always technologists, and I feel like we're going to see that next level, that next school of George Lucas, that are going to be inherently technologists,' Clark said. 'You're going to have to understand technology, whether or not you use it.'

Darren Aronofsky Partners with Google DeepMind on Generative AI Short Film Initiative
Darren Aronofsky has launched a new generative AI storytelling venture in which he will partner with Google DeepMind to produce short films with Gen-AI and some of Google's newly announced tools. The venture is titled Primordial Soup, and its research team, along with three filmmakers, will produce short films integrating new tech and storytelling and has the mission statement of creating frameworks for AI's role in filmmaking and putting artists in the driver's seat of technological innovation. More from IndieWire Google Unveils Gen-AI Video Tool with Camera Controls, Consistent Character Design, and Even Sound The Cannes 2025 Films So Far Most Likely to End Up in the Oscar Race 'Filmmaking has always been driven by technology. After the Lumiere Brothers and Edison's ground-breaking invention, filmmakers unleashed the hidden storytelling power of cameras. Later technological breakthroughs — sound, color, VFX — allowed us to tell stories in ways that couldn't be told before. Today is no different. Now is the moment to explore these new tools and shape them for the future of storytelling,' Aronofsky said in an official statement. The news was announced alongside Google's I/O event, in which the tech giant also unveiled its latest generative video model called Veo 3, as well as an advanced new gen-AI editing tool called Flow. Google DeepMind will provide Primordial Soup's team early access to these tools. The first film produced under the partnership is called 'Ancestra' and is directed by Eliza McNitt. Her film will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 13, and it will be followed by a panel featuring the filmmakers and moderated by Aronofsky. The film blends live-action filmmaking and performance with generative visuals and is described as a deeply personal narrative inspired by the day McNitt was born. McNitt trained the AI models on her own baby pictures and other photos taken by her late father in order to generate a newborn infant with a story that could be shaped by her own biography. 'With 'Ancestra,' I was able to visualize the unseen, transforming family archives, emotions, and science into a cinematic experience that feels both intimate and expansive,' said McNitt. McNitt is known for a previous VR experience that was executive produced by Aronofsky that featured the voices of Millie Bobby Brown, Jessica Chastain, and Patti Smith as the voices of the cosmos. It was the first VR project to ever be acquired out of Sundance. Two additional films, yet to be announced, will explore other new applications of Veo, Google DeepMind's video generation model. Watch the first teaser for 'Ancestra' above, and learn more about this strategic partnership at the Google DeepMind blog.
