5G is making AI-powered experiences better. The low latency and high capacity of 5G will also allow AI processing to be distributed among the device, edge cloud, and central cloud – enabling flexible system solutions for a variety of new and enhanced experiences

AI/ML is being used for 5G network planning, automation of network operations (e.g., provisioning, optimization, fault prediction, security, fraud detection), network slicing, reducing operating costs, and improving both the quality of service and customer experience based on chatbots, recommender systems, and techniques such as robotic process automation (RPA). Further, AI and ML is being used across all layers – from disaggregated radio access layer (5G RAN), to integrated access backhaul (IAB) to the distributed cloud layer (5G Edge/Core) to fine tune performance.
