Abstract

With the rapid growth of communication technologies and increasing complexity of network infrastructures, effective management of autonomous networks has become one of the fundamental challenges in the field of information technology. Artificial intelligence (AI), with capabilities such as data-driven learning, autonomous decision-making, and environmental adaptability, has emerged as a transformative solution in this area. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the applications of AI in the management of autonomous networks, focusing on the role of techniques such as machine learning, deep neural networks, and hybrid approaches in optimizing performance, predicting traffic, fault detection, enhancing security, and reducing resource consumption. Additionally, challenges such as the need for high-quality data, computational complexity, low interpretability, and security threats are analyzed, with proposed solutions to address them. Furthermore, future research opportunities—including the development of low-power algorithms, integration with emerging technologies, improving interpretability, and global standardization—are explored. The findings of this paper indicate that AI can play a key role in the intelligent management and sustainability of autonomous networks, provided that the existing challenges are addressed through interdisciplinary and research-driven approaches.
