With the continuous emergence of new technologies, more and more technologies are merged and combined to simplify the user's difficulty of use while enhancing functions. In fact, the combination of fifth-generation cellular technology and artificial intelligence technology is also a very perfect example, which helps today's innovators to cooperate and apply two separate concepts to develop new use cases and improve past ones. Created to better meet future needs.

Future-oriented 5G evolution

The combination of artificial intelligence and 5G technologies will transform business models and the rate of innovation in many different industries – from healthcare and transportation to entertainment and more.

Technological transformation is expected to make an impressive contribution to the global economy as we know it. According to the research report of ABI Research, by 2035, the combined output of artificial intelligence and 5G will reach 17.9 trillion US dollars, accounting for 0.7% of global GDP. A large part of the direct contribution of AI and 5G will come from the 5G ecosystem, and 5G will become the main technology for many industrial applications.

So how exactly will the combination of artificial intelligence and 5G revolutionize the world as we know it? Most notably, the combination of the two can better improve the operating efficiency of the system.

5G technology can transmit information quickly and with low latency, while AI minimizes operational complexity by utilizing efficient algorithms. That means devices that use them will be faster and more efficient. Furthermore, the combination of 5G and AI will improve the cost-effectiveness of various processes through the use of automated systems that can reduce the manual effort and cost required to perform industrial functions while increasing precision.

The simultaneous application of artificial intelligence and 5G in the network can also help enterprises reduce capital expenditures, develop new revenue streams and improve network performance. AI is already being used to help service providers recoup investments made to adopt and enable new 5G applications, while AI is already simplifying network evolution and improving performance across networks.

Network optimization through distributed intelligence and edge capabilities

An important element of the combined use of AI and 5G is distributed intelligence, as this could allow computing functions to be distributed across the infrastructure.

Distributed intelligence comes from the cloud to the edge, enabling on-demand deployment of computing resources and AI, and changing the way information is processed to simplify technical complexity and improve infrastructure operation efficiency.

The adoption of 5G and AI will support the intelligent wireless edge, where edge cloud, data processing on edge devices and 5G are combined to form a ubiquitous intelligent connection structure. In addition, the high capacity and low latency of 5G can enable new and improved capabilities, as AI processing can be distributed between devices, the central cloud, and the edge.

Utilizing 5G and edge artificial intelligence, it is possible to enable the edge cloud to perform AI processing through low-latency 5G or on-device to achieve data processing closer to its source, making it possible to process data closer to the source and help provide higher reliability , personalization and security.

How artificial intelligence is changing 5G

Using AI technologies on 5G networks and 5G devices can provide multiple benefits and improve wireless challenges posed by traditional approaches. For example, with the minimized operational complexity of AI and the low latency of 5G technology, devices can have longer battery life and improve efficiency, providing users with more enhanced experiences.

AI can improve 5G networks by improving network security, improving network efficiency, improving service quality and providing more simplified deployment. In addition, the use of AI machine learning can enable 5G devices to improve in system performance, security and device experience.

How 5G Will Change AI

AI has become so pervasive and necessary in various systems, the addition of 5G can help improve AI capabilities. 5G can support AI deployment and develop new AI uses through distributed AI. Because 5G has both high capacity and low latency, using it with AI could allow for distributed AI processing, allowing greater flexibility for new features.

Using 5G in AI capabilities can improve the AI-enhanced experience for users. For example, by using a 5G link, Borderless XR can split AI workload rendering and processing between the device and the edge cloud, meaning the ability to create personalized experiences for customers or create more engaging experiences for entertainment purposes.

5G and AI trends and applications to watch

So, how will we see the application of 5G and AI in our daily life? In fact, the combination of these technologies has begun to create new possibilities for all walks of life.

1) Medical

Utilization of 5G networks in the healthcare industry will enable doctors to perform remote surgery with the help of artificial intelligence robots, making healthcare more accessible and more efficient, especially in remote or underserved areas.

2) Customer service

5G and AI are critical to enhancing customer service and customer experience. AI technology can provide shoppers with personalized buying recommendations based on their interests or previous customer data. It can also open up new ways to present products to shoppers.

The expansion of connectivity through 5G networks can improve retailers' sales capabilities, and pairing it with AI can support augmented reality services to provide customers with product information. Walmart, for example, uses edge computing services to improve customer experience by collecting, sharing and leveraging real-time analysis of data across its retail network, which enables them to provide shoppers with immersive augmented and virtual reality services.

3) Self-driving cars

Thanks to 5G, the dream of self-driving cars with artificial intelligence is becoming a reality. Autonomous vehicles will need fast and reliable connections to communicate with each other and the infrastructure around them, and 5G networks will provide the necessary connectivity to make this possible.

4) Augmented Reality

With the help of 5G network and AI, gamers and viewers will be able to enjoy ultra-low latency and high-definition graphics. This will enable new forms of immersive and interactive entertainment and further improve virtual and augmented reality.

5) Industrial automation

5G networks and artificial intelligence will enable industrial robots to communicate with each other as well as the humans who operate them, thereby supporting existing industrial automation and will lead to safer, more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing processes.
