Talk Title
: What Unites AI, 6G, and Common Sense in Shaping Our Future?
Abstract
: Next-generation wireless systems like 6G will embed artificial intelligence (AI) to create so-called AI-native systems. However, the very definition of AI-native wireless remains vague, and current approaches are incremental, relying on traditional AI models like autoencoders or large-language models, which face limitations like opacity, reliance on training data, and limited adaptability to new, unforeseen scenarios. To address these limitations, in this talk, we unveil a bold, pioneering framework for developing artificial general intelligence (AGI)-native wireless systems. We demonstrate how a fusion of wireless systems, digital twins, and AI can establish an AGI architecture with “common sense” capabilities akin to human cognition. This architecture includes perception, world modeling, and action-planning, enabling networks to reason, plan, and exhibit human-like cognitive skills such as imagination and deep thinking. We then showcase key results, illustrating how a union of AI, 6G, and common sense can propel transformative advancements in both wireless and AI.
