Description
The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) is spearheading Europe’s efforts to establish global leadership in 6G telecommunications. Under the Horizon Europe program, SNS JU has initiated numerous projects integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as foundational components of future networks. These AI/ML solutions address critical 6G objectives, such as enhanced performance, energy efficiency, and advanced security, reflecting a comprehensive and collaborative approach to innovation in telecommunications.
The SNS JU Technology Board (TB), the collaborative body of the leading technical experts of all ongoing R&I projects, has performed a survey across 33 R&I projects from the first two phases (Call 1 and Call 2) of the SNS JU, that are engaging in the development of AI-based solutions, to better understand the approach, methodologies and models used by AI experimenters, as well as to generate insights regarding the network layers that AI mechanisms are applied to, the data sets used for training, the goal of the developed mechanisms and more.
