Ensuring a safer and connected world with the power of mind and machine
Machine learning, large language models, generative AI: it’s hard to think of another technology that has changed our world as quickly and dramatically as artificial intelligence (AI). The key technology will play a pivotal role in turning future concepts, such as autonomous driving and humanoid robots, into reality. Reason enough for PROmilCOM to be actively involved in both researching and developing artificial intelligence – and the company already uses a lot of AI in its solutions.
Back to the future?
Let’s travel back to 1968; color TV is wowing audiences; in telecommunications, landline phones have made their way into most homes. The transistor radio is one of the most popular mobile technologies.
In the same year, Stanley Kubrick’s epic science fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is also in theaters. The film follows a voyage to Jupiter controlled by an advanced artificial intelligence named HAL 9000. The AI communicates with the astronauts in a human voice, makes decisions on its own to control the spaceship and continuously analyzes system data to spot potential problems.
AI is changing how we live
Today, almost six decades later, artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. Large Language Models (LLM) power the intelligent assistants in our smartphones. Personalized recommendations we see on the internet are made possible with Machine Learning (ML) as well as groundbreaking developments in medicine, transportation and finance – AI is changing how we work, live and communicate.
Politics and business are also playing an active role. Governments are drafting the legal framework, while companies are searching for use cases. Both are investing in their own research and development along with AI startups.
Neural networks make wireless communications smart
Leading research institutes and industry experts around the world think the 6G standard will use artificial intelligence for signal processing in the future wireless communications ecosystem. The aim is to increase data rates and reduce latencies – always and everywhere. This will play a critical role in applications such as extended reality (XR), autonomous driving and smart factories.
As a longstanding partner to the mobile communications industry, PROmilCOM is actively supporting 6G research at universities and in industrial alliances across Europe, Asia and the USA. Rohde & Schwarz and NVIDIA have jointly presented how AI techniques can further improve wireless communications, with neural receivers firmly in the spotlight.
