What role does AI play in 6G network design?

AI handles spectrum allocation, traffic routing, and fault detection natively, using ML techniques across protocol layers for dynamic, predictive ops.

When will 6G networks launch commercially?

Expect pilots by 2028, widespread rollout over the 2030s—decade out, barring delays like 5G's.

Is AI in 6G a security risk?

Potentially huge—model poisoning, adversarial attacks could cripple routing or fake faults. Mitigation via federated learning helps, but it's early days. Word count: ~950. Skeptical wrap: 6G's AI heart beats strong, but don't drink the Kool-Aid yet.
