Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a lab curiosity for cable operators—it’s quietly rewriting the rules of DOCSIS operations. Following is an overview of my take on where artificial intelligence is delivering value today and how it will reshape high-speed data service as DOCSIS 3.1 and 4.0 roll-outs continue across North America and beyond, based on extensive research of the current state of technology. AI tech evolves fast—so buckle up! Why AI and DOCSIS are a natural pair DOCSIS networks already generate terabytes of telemetry (SNR, RxMER
