  "summary": "The article discusses the challenges and considerations of adopting AI in real-time communication systems, highlighting the need for a progressive engineering journey rather than a single feature launch. The author emphasizes that while traditional AI applications may tolerate some latency, real-time communication systems cannot afford delays as they directly impact user experience. The article introduces a 7-stage AI adoption framework for engineering teams working on voice, video, messaging, WebRTC, CPaaS, contact centers, and unified communications. The stages include AI discovery and experimentation, AI-assisted communication, real-time AI, context-aware AI, AI agents, AI-native communication experiences, and AI at scale with continuous optimization. The framework aims to guide teams through the complexities of integrating AI into real-time communication systems while maintaining latency, reliability, security, and user experience.",
