What it means for 6G to be 'AI-native' - embedding machine learning into network design from the ground up rather than bolting it on.

What this article will cover

  • Defining 'AI-native' vs AI-assisted networks
  • AI in the air interface: learned waveforms and channel estimation
  • AI-driven network management and self-optimization
  • Data pipelines and closed-loop automation for AI-native design
  • Challenges: explainability, trust, and standardization
