INTELLIGENT AND TRUSTWORTHY 6G: AI-DRIVEN ARCHITECTURES, APPLICATIONS, AND SECURITY FRAMEWORKS

Compared to 5G, the sixth generation (6G) wireless network offers ultra-low latency, great reliability, a large connection, integrated sensing, and seamless intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is positioned as a key architectural pillar of 6G, as opposed to merely an enabler, in contrast to previous generations. Using distributed intelligence, edge-cloud synergy, and data-driven control planes as architectural foundations, this study explores the basic integration of AI across the 6G network stack. These allow for self-configuring, autonomous networks where embedded AI agents make proactive, adaptive decisions in a variety of dynamic, diverse environments.
