AI‑Native Networks – Powering the Autonomous Future
Information
AI-native. In this session, Akhil Gokul outlines how Ericsson is evolving mobile networks into AI-ready, autonomous platforms that can deliver reliable uplink, bounded latency, and differentiated quality of service for emerging AI workloads from multimodal assistants and AR devices to drones, autonomous vehicles and physical AI. He will show how the “intelligent fabric” underpinning 5G Standalone and 5G Advanced is becoming the foundation for AI-native 6G, where connectivity, compute and data are tightly integrated and exposed through programmable, secure interfaces.
AI is moving beyond the data center — AI workloads are rapidly shifting to devices, edge clouds, and mission-critical systems, placing new demands on network infrastructure.
Networks must be AI-native, not just faster — Ericsson is evolving mobile networks into autonomous, AI-ready platforms capable of delivering reliable uplink, bounded latency, and differentiated quality of service.
Diverse AI use cases require tailored connectivity — The platform is designed to support a wide range of applications, from multimodal assistants and AR devices to drones, autonomous vehicles, and physical AI.
5G is the foundation for AI-native 6G — The "intelligent fabric" of 5G Standalone and 5G Advanced is being built upon to enable a fully integrated 6G architecture where connectivity, compute, and data work as one.
