Forget just faster downloads—China Mobile’s chief expert Liu Guangyi says 6G is set to become the ultimate sidekick for artificial intelligence (AI) and turbocharge society’s tech evolution. Speaking at the Global 6G Conference 2025, Liu argued that network innovation, not raw speed, will define the next-gen wireless era.
The 5G Blind Spot
"When we built 5G, nobody saw AI exploding like this," Liu told CGTN. Early designs focused on speed but missed opportunities to blend AI-friendly features—a gap 6G aims to fix. Imagine networks so smart they could optimize robots, self-driving cars, and wearables in real-time, slashing costs and boosting performance.
AI Meets Infrastructure
Liu’s vision? 6G will help shrink bulky tech into affordable, mass-market devices. Think smart glasses that actually work seamlessly or delivery drones that navigate crowded cities autonomously. "This isn’t just an upgrade," he said. "It’s about embedding intelligence everywhere."
Networks That Fix Themselves
Ever had Wi-Fi issues? Future 6G systems might auto-diagnose glitches like a robotic tech crew. Liu predicts self-managing networks could save telecoms billions, freeing resources for innovation. "Why rely on humans when the network can heal itself?"
