Permitting to Drive AI Digital Infrastructure

As AI applications, 5G expansion, and fiber builds accelerate, permitting remains a major bottleneck for tower siting and network densification. This session examines how infrastructure growth is reshaping permitting processes and how AI and automation can streamline approvals, improve transparency, and reduce delays. Panelists will discuss evolving regulations, community engagement, and strategies for balancing speed with compliance to enable the intelligent, connected networks of the future.
