## Abstract (arXiv)

The rapid evolution of communication networks towards 6G increasingly incorporates advanced AI-driven controls across various network segments to achieve intelligent, zero-touch operation. This paper proposes a comprehensive and modular framework for AI controllers, designed to be highly flexible and adaptable for use across both fiber optical and radio networks. Building on the principles established by the O-RAN Alliance for near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controllers (near-RT RICs), our framework extends this AI-driven control into the optical domain. Our approach addresses the critical need for a unified AI control framework across diverse network transport technologies and domains, enabling the development of intelligent, automated, and scalable 6G networks.
