5G is the eternal promise of the telecommunications world, which is struggling to become an accessible technology for consumers.
The reason, according to Andrea Missori, President of Ericsson Italia, is more than one.
"Among the factors - he told ANSA during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona - there is the extreme competition which, especially in our country, has led to having tariffs among the lowest in Europe. Last year, operators lost more money how many have invested, something that hasn't been seen for decades.
We should collaborate more at a local and global level and instead the scenario is increasingly fragmented and slowed down".
From this point of view, support could come from artificial intelligence.
"AI enters the field to optimize network programming: infrastructures are much more complex and to be managed correctly they must perform adjustments in real time, a matter of seconds."
The reference is to when a home connection must give priority to streaming a video call or streaming a game.
Operations that can be performed autonomously using AI."
The same concept is expressed by Priya Kurien, Global Research Lead at IBM. "Some technologies will benefit greatly from the advent of artificial intelligence.
Let's think about quantum computing, which is still the subject of studies and analyses.
AI can help us not only make quantum computing real but also unlock new applications in sectors, from medicine to cybersecurity." According to the manager, one mistake we could make is to consider AI a threat, rather than a resource: " Balancing the positive aspects and risks is not easy but if organizations, together with governments, work together to develop ethics in the use of technology, a meeting point will be reached that will open up opportunities that are currently unexplored".
