What’s AI?
Any use of machines instead of humans, to complete the work which usually requires human's intelligence to
complete(e.g. cognition, identification, analysis, decision making, etc.), all can be considered to belong to the scope of AI.

Feature1: Call success rate complex
decreased
 Massive apps coming makes
Feature2: DB access alarm
the O&M workload increase
Feature3: Packet loss rate rapidly
increased
 Passive O&M mode makes
R&D Lab the user experience very
poor
