What kind of chemical reaction will occur? ,"6GAI"
6G and AI are undoubtedly hot words in the current technology world. A reporter from Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News noticed at the 6G Innovation and Development Parallel Forum at the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting that “6GAI” has been frequently mentioned by industry insiders. What kind of "chemical reaction" will the combination of the two produce?
"6G and AI are actually in a symbiotic and mutually reinforcing relationship." Huang Yuhong, executive vice president of the Zhongguancun Joint Research Institute and president of the China Mobile Research Institute, told reporters. She introduced that there is a classic saying in the industry to describe this relationship - "AI for network, network for AI". "AI for network" means that after the introduction of AI into network communication technology, it will have endogenous AI capabilities. This capability can bring huge changes to the network architecture and operation, making it more simplified and intelligent. "Network for AI" stated that 6G technology with intelligent capabilities can better assist the application of AI technology in various industries, especially in the field of general artificial intelligence.
"For example, AI itself requires a large amount of data, and the transmission of existing networks often cannot meet this amount of data. But 6G has the ability to integrate synaesthesia and intelligence, and it itself carries a large number of AI model applications, so it can be processed at any time Massive data improves transmission capabilities," Huang Yuhong further explained.
Chen Shanzhi, deputy general manager and chief engineer of China Information Technology Group and director of the National Key Laboratory of Wireless Mobile Communications, said that at the current stage, AI optimization of wireless communications still remains on the wireless side and core network, including improving user experience and reducing network energy consumption. and perform network operation and maintenance. "In the future, when AI is truly embedded in 6G networks, it will be able to provide everyone with an 'end-to-end' experience upgrade. To achieve this goal, more powerful edge computing capabilities will be needed, but it will also face power consumption challenges. "
Zhang Ping, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of the Zhongguancun Joint Institute, pointed out that making AI ubiquitous is one of the visions of 6G. “The ubiquity of AI means that everyone can access the services provided by artificial intelligence anytime and anywhere, so communication must be at the forefront, so that modular computing power becomes distributed computing power, and truly achieve deep artificial intelligence Intelligence means making machines do things that humans can do.”
Zhang Ping said that it is not easy to realize ubiquitous artificial intelligence through "6GAI", and China needs strategic determination. He suggested that, first, we should consolidate the research on basic theories, second, we should optimize the design criteria, and third, we should establish an independent and controllable system development system and adhere to the line of independent innovation. "It's not easy to go from '0 to 1'. We can't just let others tell us that we are wrong and stop doing it."
