Society is increasingly approaching what will be one of the most important technological changes in recent decades: the meeting between 6G networks and artificial intelligence. Their combination will, according to experts, make us take giant steps in terms of the way we communicate and how we carry out all types of processes.
We like to look to the future with optimism and keeping our capacity for wonder intact, but we can’t help but start thinking about what the convergence between AI and 6G networks has in store for us. Specialists say that it will represent the most drastic change that we have experienced technologically and something that will mark a trend of change for the following decades. But how will it happen and what can we expect?
The intelligent Internet of things
One aspect on which different specialists agree is that the concept of being fully connected, as is currently the case with the Internet of Things, will be maintained, but incorporating Smart technology. The presence of artificial intelligence will make everything more alive and many of the processes carried out will be supervised and even optimized through AI. This will avoid problems, speed up work and provide a much more flexible and involving environment.
First and foremost, we can expect a new era in interactivity. All around us, technology will have responsibilities and will act in certain ways depending on the different stimuli or data it encounters. There will not be as much supervision by the user, but the technology itself will have much more control to simplify the processes. Even while you sleep, the AI ​​can ensure that your health is in good condition or act if it detects any anomaly. Thus, with a smartwatch that monitors your health status or respiratory rate, the support of AI and 6G networks, you would have vital support that would help you even if you are alone at home and have a health problem. that can go unnoticed. We would never be “alone” again.
What kind of technology awaits us?
6G networks will be smart and that means they can be optimized and adjusted in different ways depending on what is happening. They will have the autonomy to even increase the technical capacity they need with the intention that, at no time, there will be cuts in services. It will be a type of network that will know no limits and will resolve its incidents automatically without affecting users or Internet providers.
The ramification of this type of technology takes many forms. We will be able to see how robotics grows and is based on one of the principles of the evolution of the robot as we know it today. Many people are waiting for that day to come, and thanks to 6G networks and AI, it will finally be introduced into society. We will see how robots will begin to have more autonomy and presence in our lives, initially starting in public places and institutions and then opening up more and more so that they are also a reality in homes. This technology will also promote the use of holograms that will allow, among other things, to generate new methods of communication in which we do not depend on devices or screens.
For their part, virtual reality and augmented reality will strengthen the technology we already know and possibly elevate it to the next level of usability. It is unknown how both technologies will make the leap to the use of AI and 6G networks, but both systems should be, thanks to this, more “real.” Furthermore, this new era will also be the one that confirms the presence of autonomous cars on the streets. It will be about, in different aspects and under different projects, making the digital and physical worlds even more united.
When will it be a reality?
Different companies are working and testing so that AI and 6G networks become the project that pushes humanity towards the next technological leap. From the ITU (International Telecommunication Union), they say that their forecast is that we will see how it takes the first steps in 2030. 6G networks, when they are introduced, will be capable of learning and developing on their own, and that will benefit the elimination of many of the limits found so far.
In addition to the improvement in speed compared to 5G, which will be far behind compared to the next generation of network technology, the important thing is that it will be a type of networks that will not fall halfway to its potential. The evolution and improvement will be so constant that the 6G networks themselves will tear down the walls they find to continue advancing thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
But reaching these objectives will not be easy, since a quality satellite network will be needed that allows 6G technology to be maintained at the highest level. And there are also environmental challenges to overcome, as well as those related to the pollution that is occurring in low Earth orbit. However, experts are optimistic and are looking for ways to overcome obstacles. Meanwhile, AI continues to learn and evolve to become the intelligent technology that enhances the use of 6G networks when they arrive.
