5G, another important area alongside AI, has also been discussed and studied by the U.S. government many times in internal working meetings. Last October, Trump signed a presidential memorandum asking the Commerce Department to develop a long-term, comprehensive 5G strategy. And China has not only written 5G into the 13th Five-Year Plan, but also supported the industry to set up the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group and launched the world's largest 5G technology research and development test.
The reason why 5G and AI have been emphasized so much and frequently mentioned by the government and various industries is that the combination of the two will have a fusion effect, giving rise to many new technologies, new platforms, new business models, new industries, etc., and bringing about unprecedented opportunities for innovation, and perhaps even the arrival of a new era.
The current AI basically relies on cloud computing and the terminal itself to process, the terminal will obtain the massive amount of information in their own processing and refining, and then to the cloud AI brain for unified processing. However, due to the limited processing capacity of the terminal and the transmission capacity of the network, the current artificial intelligence is slow and low intelligence. If the application is connected to the cloud through the 5G network and edge computing and other technologies are used, the 5G core network distributed architecture will perfectly match the needs of the application extended to the edge, and the edge gateway can forward the information directly to the edge application, helping AI to extend the application to the edge.
5G is the cornerstone of the Internet of everything, like the information highway, it provides the possibility of massive data and information transfer, at the same time, also brings more efficient transmission rate; AI is the booster of the Internet of everything, not only the brain in the cloud, but also the neural network that can complete learning and evolution to, become an extension of human intelligence. The two add up to each other, AI will enable in 5G, optimize 5G network, promote 5G landing. The 5G network with AI attributes is a self-enabling network. 5G is also an enabling technology, changing the mode of production, changing social life, and making AI ubiquitous. 5G, as a new basic network facility, not only serves people, but also serves things and serves society. Both as the productivity of the new era, will bring about a change in the mode of production of the entire society and the enhancement of productivity.
