Telecom Regulators Embrace AI to Modernize Governance and Network Management

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2025 – Senior officials from the government’s top telecom regulators said Wednesday that artificial intelligence was becoming central to both agencies’ operations.

The Federal Communications Commission’s chief AI officer Arpan Sura said the agency’s goal was to use AI "to be faster [and more accurate] in decision making,” while also “making the lives of staff easier.”

Adam Cassady, deputy associate administrator at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, described how AI was reshaping communications infrastructure itself, arguing it would fundamentally alter spectrum and network management.
