This talk will overview and discuss the 2024 edition of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) chapter of the IEEE International Network Generations Roadmap (INGR). It focuses on the comingling of AI/ML and networking in ways that would make the network itself intelligent. This edition recognizes the 6G/IMT-2030 vision and the many AI/ML innovations introduced circa 2023-2024, and explores new potential capabilities enabled and new questions inspired thereof. Beyond enhancing classical network performance KPIs, this edition contemplates what it means to have intelligence in the network and what else can be done with it. Key Topics: · AI/ML-Defined Radio, a radio architecture specifically designed to support AI/ML-based optimization and decision-making in communication functions; · Integrated Sensing, using the wireless communications network to sense the environment; · Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS), optimizing the configuration of reflective surfaces to reshape radio signal propagations; · Generative-AI (GenAI) for Prediction-Based Networking, using AI/ML to predict and generate content in the network rather than merely replicating data from hop to top, also using GenAI as an alternative to traditional congestion control; · updates on systems analytics, dynamic digital twins, and the Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS) paradigm; · Next-generation AI for next-generation wireless networks, expansive vision that seeks to incorporate such concepts as artificial general intelligence (AGI), the telecom brain, reasoning that recognizes causality, distributed collective intelligence, semantic communication, distributed universal foundation models, etc. into wireless networks.

Special Presentation by Dr. Farhad Rezazadeh (CTTC, Spain) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, November 21st, 2024 @ 12:00 UTC Topic: Toward Trustworthy AI/ML in 6G Networks through Explainable Reasoning Abstract: This talk emphasizes the importance of trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) in 6G networks in response to growing global attention on AI governance. Notable initiatives such as the White House's Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of AI, DARPA's Assured Neuro-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning and eXplainable AI (XAI) programs, and the European Union's AI Act, highlight the increasing regulatory focus on AI transparency and responsibility. As 6G networks transition from AI-native to automation-native, the need for explainability and trustworthiness becomes critical, especially in mission-critical and high-stakes applications. Traditional post-hoc explainability methods, which aim to explain AI decisions after they are made, are no longer adequate in complex network environments. Instead, in-hoc explainability or explanation-guided techniques – where explanations guide the learning process itself – is emerging as a crucial approach for establishing trust in AI systems from the ground up. Indeed, integrating explanatory mechanisms directly within AI learning models enables transparent decisions and enhances learning. Furthermore, incorporating neuro-symbolic approaches, which combine neural networks with symbolic reasoning, provides a robust framework to tackle the increasing complexity of 6G networks. By integrating these approaches, AI systems can make more explainable, contextually guided decisions, boosting trust and performance while mitigating risks associated with black-box AI models. Speaker: Farhad Rezazadeh received his Ph.D. degree (Excellent Cum Laude) in Signal Theory and Communications from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, Spain. He is currently a researcher (Sr. Applied AI Engineer) at the Telecommunications Technological Center of Catalonia (CTTC), Barcelona, Spain. He participated in 8 European and National 5G/B5G/6G R&D projects with leading and technical tasks in the areas of Applied AI. His AI innovation in B5G/6G resource allocation was recognized as a great EU-funded Innovation by the European Commission's Innovation Radar. He was awarded the first patent connected to the H2020 5G-SOLUTIONS project. He was a secondee at NEC Lab Europe and had scientific missions at TUM, Germany, TUHH, Germany, and UdG, Spain. He is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Ph.D. grantee, winning five different IEEE/IEEE ComSoc grants, two European Cooperation in Science and Technology grants, and a Catalan Government Ph.D. Grant. He is an active member of ACM Professional, IEEE Young Professionals, and IEEE Spain - Technical Activities and Standards, with more than 29 top-tier journals/conferences and book chapters. He actively serves as Organizing, Chair, Reviewer, and TPC member in IEEE and Guest Editor for Elsevier. He has over 140 verified reviews for peer-reviewed publications. He coordinates the IEEE Trustworthy Internet of Things (TRUST-IoT) working group within the IEEE IoT Community.
