Nine Challenges in Artificial Intelligence and Wireless Communications for 6G

Abstract: In recent years, techniques developed in AI, especially those in ML, have been successfully applied in various areas, leading to a widespread belief that AI will collectively play an important role in future wireless communications. To accomplish the aspiration, we present nine challenges to be addressed by the interdisciplinary areas of AI/ML and wireless communications, with particular focus towards the sixth generation (6G) wireless networks. Specifically, this article classifies the nine challenges into computation in AI, distributed neural networks and learning, and ML enabled semantic communications.
