Ali Shaikh, Chief Executive Officer of Graphiant, expects a significant correction in the AI bubble as rapid model scaling and data center expansion reach a plateau, shifting focus toward actual business value and real-world applications. He shares how this will impact networking in 2026.

Khalid Raza, CEO of Graphiant, outlines how telecom companies can evolve into technology companies by shifting focus from data transit to data processing. He proposes that service providers convert their transit points and middle mile locations into processing centers, enabling them to participate in the AI data economy and capitalize on business-to-business connectivity growth.

Ali Shaikh, Chief Product Officer at Graphiant, highlights the shift towards data sovereignty and the role of networks in facilitating AI growth through data exchanges. Shaikh introduces the concept of carrier Network as a Service (NaaS), predicting that companies will need on-demand networks address connectivity of AI workloads.

Khalid Raza, CEO of Graphiant, predicts a shift from the advertising revenue model to a data exchange economy between business partners. Raza also emphasizes the need for private exchange of this enterprise data, and the necessity of a peer-to-peer data exchange model as data growth outpaces bandwidth available.
