The research team built "Net AI Copilot" to automate dual-stack configurations and generate Ansible playbooks. However, organizational readiness remains a barrier to both AI and IPv6 adoption. The university's CIO warns about AI cost concerns including token pricing changes, vendor lock-in, and the high expense of on-premises alternatives, suggesting shared infrastructure as a potential solution. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
