At the Global 6G Conference 2025, chief expert Liu Guangyi from China Mobile explained how the next generation of connectivity will redefine more than just speed. Speaking with CGTN, Liu noted that while 5G focused primarily on rapid communication, its design did not fully anticipate the explosive rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
Liu emphasized that 6G is set to bring forth new dimensions of network capabilities. With a future of digitalization and intelligence on the horizon, he envisions a world where robotics, intelligent connected vehicles, and advanced hardware become more lightweight, compact, and affordable. This evolution will accelerate the integration of intelligent applications into everyday life.
Moreover, 6G promises to enhance network operations by introducing a higher level of self-management. "Imagine a network that could oversee its own upkeep like a robot," Liu remarked. This shift towards automation is expected to reduce reliance on human labor and significantly cut operational costs for telecom providers.
For young global citizens, tech innovators, and thought leaders alike, these advancements are not just about faster speeds—they are about transforming society through smarter, more efficient networks that pave the way for a sustainable and interconnected future.
