Abstract
Systems and methods for enacting or applying configuration changes (e.g., updates, optimizations) in a network element of a production network are provided. The configuration changes may be proposed and enacted in a collaboration system between artificial intelligence (AI) devices and human-controlled devices. According to one implementation, a system includes a production network having a plurality of network elements and a computer connected to the production network. The computer is configured to request a new configuration update regarding a first network element. The system further includes an electronic ledger configured to store a history of one or more configuration updates that have been previously enacted with respect to the first network element.
