The wireless landscape is experiencing unprecedented change as networks transition to more open and intelligent frameworks. At the forefront of this evolution, Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) are breaking down traditional barriers, creating next generation networks where flexibility thrives and AI-driven innovation accelerates. 

This talk examines the transformative convergence of AI and Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) within the O-RAN paradigm. This powerful combination unlocks new dimensions of network efficiency and scalability while maintaining essential trust guarantees. We demonstrate a comprehensive approach that connects cutting-edge theory with real-world deployment strategies, creating the foundation for trusted intelligent wireless infrastructure.
