Global networks across the world have launched 5G, the 5th generation mobile network and it is estimated that worldwide network operators will invest about $1 Trillion on 5G by 2025. 5G will not only change the way we connect and communicate with each other but also provides the necessary infrastructure and massive amounts of data that will enable the mass adoption of AI.
In this article, we will explore the different aspects of how 5G can make AI better.
How will 5G serve AI?
With 5G providing data on a large scale at relatively higher speeds, it helps to make AI-powered experiences better. The high-capacity and reduced latency of 5G will enable different AI solutions to access data in real-time which will enhance and make them work differently.
Low Latency
An AI-powered assistant still takes a few minutes to respond as it reaches out to the cloud to process the query and get the answer. This is fine if we want it to find out answers to general queries like the weather. But the response time has to be quicker in case of emergencies where you may need a response in just a few milliseconds. 5G networks enable AI-powered solutions to process data in near real-time thereby enabling quick response times.
Training
5G facilitates data segregation which can be used to train the ML models and enable them to utilize the insights gained for better decision making and in the handling of false-negatives or false-positives.
Distributed AI
AI is moving away from the cloud towards a distributed network such as edge computing or the IoT devices. Distributed learning over 5G facilitates the training of AI beyond the cloud with on-device training. Partially distributed AI refines the data before sending it to the cloud for collective analysis. With 5G, it is possible to train AI models on-device leading to mass adoption of AI solutions. Since the device data is used for training, this allows for customization of the AI model and also helps to preserve privacy since the data doesn’t go to the cloud leaving the device.
5G, the wireless architecture technology will add value through the entire AI toolchain. With the expansion of 5G networks, it holds the potential to play an important role in the development of next-generation AI apps.
