AI in 6G Network Security and Management

Abstract

Various global institutions are exploring the potentials and hurdles of 6G communication networks to address the security shortcomings of existing 5G networks while capitalizing on the promises of 6G for heightened privacy and dependability. Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a solution with minimal drawbacks and reduced expenses. This chapter delves into diverse applications where AI integration can prove advantageous. AI has undergone substantial evolution, transitioning from network diagnosis and monitoring to optimizing large-scale systems. Advanced algorithms bolster network security by continuously updating and identifying vulnerabilities. Furthermore, AI facilitates the creation of innovative networking models like intent-based networking, streamlining network configuration based on user needs. The integration of AI with networks has witnessed increased usage, such as cost reduction in managing IoT data and enhanced efficiency in healthcare systems through fuzzy classifiers.
