Yang Chaobin, a prominent figure in the tech industry, Huawei’s Board Member and President of ICT Products and Solutions delivered a keynote speech at the Global MBB Forum 2024 and emphasized the transformative potential of the upcoming mobile AI era powered by the evolution of 5.5G technology.
The shift, or rather convergence of AI and 5.5G carries the potential to revolutionize a myriad of industries while reshaping the lives of everyday consumers.
The new paradigm of mobile AI according to Chaobin indicated two key trends which will reshape the future of mobile technology.
Huawei says these trends will influence the ICT industry in three specific ways. First, AI agents for individuals will reshape mobile internet services such that everyone has a personal smart assistant, which means AI agent networks will need to support real-time services.

Second, smart driving will transform mobility by turning vehicles into flexible and smart spaces, which means smart vehicle networks will need to deliver high uplink speeds.
Third, generalized embodied intelligence will make its way into different scenarios to unlock new productivity and a 10 billion-unit AI-robot market, which means future robotics networks will need comprehensively higher capabilities.
How mobile AI and 5.5G technology will likely reshape the tech landscape appears to be an interesting talking point at this year’s installment of the Global MBB Forum 2024.
Enhanced mobile AI on smartphones means more shifts are expected. This means the incoming trend of smarter AI, involves infusions of AI into mobile internet services, which will likely lead to innovative applications and business models.
We are all probably going to witness features such as intelligent personal assistants, advanced image recognition, and natural language processing which will enhance user experiences.
The role of 5.5G
When looking at 5.5G technology, this next generation of mobile networks is expected to play a massive role in introducing the next potential of mobile AI.
With enhanced capabilities such as higher speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity, 5.5G will provide the necessary infrastructure to support demanding AI applications.
While the future of mobile AI is promising, there are challenges that need to be addressed, including:
Data privacy and security: As AI relies on vast amounts of data, ensuring data privacy and security is paramount.
Ethical considerations: The development and deployment of AI must be guided by ethical principles to avoid unintended consequences.

Infrastructure investment: Significant investments in network infrastructure are required to support the growing demands of AI-powered applications.
Despite these challenges, the opportunities presented by the mobile AI era are immense. By embracing innovation and addressing these challenges, we can unlock the full potential of this transformative technology.
“The upcoming mobile AI era will create huge opportunities for the mobile industry and profoundly shape the decade to come. Evolving 5.5G technology will be the key to unleashing the potential of mobile AI. Huawei looks forward to collaborating with all industry partners to evolve 5.5G and solidify the foundation of the mobile AI era. Together, we can help society and industry go intelligent,” said Chaobin.
The convergence of 5.5G and AI is set to revolutionize the mobile industry. As we move forward, it is essential to collaborate and innovate to shape a future where technology empowers individuals and drives societal progress.
