Lumen CEO Kate Johnson stated at Mobile World Congress 2026 that artificial intelligence is compelling enterprises to redesign their network infrastructure, demanding faster, more programmable systems to manage surging data workloads. She emphasized that existing networks are often insufficient for AI's demands, particularly regarding latency and data movement, and that the future involves strategically distributing computing across environments rather than solely relying on the cloud. Johnson highlighted Lumen's fiber backbone as a key enabler for this transition, having signed $13 billion in agreements with hyperscale cloud providers.
