Wiresless Computing beyond 6G


Virginia Tech researchers say a true revolution in wireless technologies is only possible through endowing the system with the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) that can think, imagine, and plan akin to humans. Doing so will allow networks to break free from traditional enablers, deliver unprecedented quality, and usher in a new phase of the AI evolution.

“We’re looking at least 10 or 15 years down the line before we have a wireless network with artificial general intelligence [AGI] that can think, plan, and imagine,” said Saad, who is a professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. “Simply put, the current level of AI is good at extracting statistical relationships from data, but it’s very bad at reasoning and generalizing to novel, unexpected situations – things that most humans master perfectly.” “We must create wireless networks with intrinsic abilities to understand the mathematical mechanics behind the designed AI models, the physical properties of real-world objects, and their interactions with each other,” Thomas said.
