Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to permeate all spheres of our society and deliver new and improved experiences. It can be said that AI will transform all industries across the country in the next ten years. 5G, not just another G, is the catalyst for this significant transformation. AI-powered 5G networks, unlike previous wireless technology generations, were born in the cloud era and will create unprecedented business opportunities by accelerating the fourth industrial revolution. A 5G network connects the data centers and smart things according to the application’s cost, latency, speed and power needs.

The combined power of these disruptive technologies (AI and 5G) enables fast, secure and ubiquitous connectivity of cost-effective smart networks and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. This point of convergence is crucial for concepts such as the intelligent wireless edge.
5G and AI, the connected digital edge
Artificial intelligence and 5G are the two most critical elements that will power futuristic innovations. These cutting edge technologies are inherently synergistic. The rapid advances in AI are significantly improving the entire 5G ecosystem, performance and efficiency. In addition, 5G connected devices’ proliferation is helping to drive unprecedented intelligence and new improvements in AI-based learning and inference. Also, the transformation of the connected, intelligent edge has begun as on-device intelligence has gained phenomenal traction. This transformation is critical to harnessing the full potential of 5G’s future. With this outlook, these technologies have enough potential to transform any industry. Here’s how the combination of AI and 5G has reshaped the industry.
Conversational AI and Natural Language Processing enable futuristic services
Conversational AI, i.e. chatbots, voice assistants and other messaging apps, supports several industries by fully automating customer service and ensuring 24/7 support. With each passing day, conversational AI/chatbots have evolved and introduced new methods of human communication via facial expressions and contextual awareness.
Help solve complex wireless challenges
As the world pushes the technological boundaries of wireless connectivity, new issues can be challenging to accommodate. AI and 5G offer potential solutions to these challenges with new levels of performance and efficiency. In addition, on-device AI benefits the overall 5G system with radio awareness where 5G can support improved system performance, including improved spectrum utilization and reduced interference. 5G ensures better radio security, protection against malicious attacks and improved detection. It also ensures improved device experiences (such as power management and intelligent beamforming).
Facilitation for urban planning and traffic management
AI-powered visual inspection software monitors all moving and non-moving elements to guarantee various aspects of running a city. These include ensuring city-wide security, traffic, drainage and space management through interconnected devices and servers. This level of development is only possible because of 5G technology, which allows cities to function smartly in a busy environment where many people and things interact. 5G also helps generate large amounts of data and supports decision makers in upgrading city administration.
Enables compelling edge computing for augmented reality
Cable does not limit Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). But advanced wireless technologies such as 5G make real-time design changes in Augmented Reality and allow to be presented practically everywhere through Virtual Reality.
Detection of vehicle defects
Automakers can identify and analyze vehicle defects and thoroughly check their quality issues on the assembly line. Visual inspection software (such as cameras) monitors automated vehicle assembly and allows the automotive industry to do so successfully with the support of deep learning algorithms.
Improves the speed and integration of other technologies
As an advanced technology, 5G significantly improves the speed and accuracy of other technologies. Meanwhile, AI enables machines and systems to act intelligently like humans. For simple understanding, 5G makes cloud services faster while AI quickly analyzes and learns from the same data.
Last word
AI and 5G are leading the way in terms of the following revolutionary technologies. When industries leverage 5G and AI together, they can unlock unprecedented productivity and efficiency, as mentioned above. Although the combined forces of these technologies have not quite reached our doorsteps yet, we are not far from experiencing the expansive prospects of 5G deployed on a mass scale.
