Guest Lecture with I.F. Akyildiz

Distinguished researcher Prof. Ian F. Akyildiz (Life Fellow, IEEE) will deliver a lecture on the future of AI-Native 6G networks. The talk will explore how artificial intelligence and machine learning must be embedded across all layers of wireless systems to meet the unprecedented complexity and performance demands of next-generation networks. Prof. Akyildiz will present a comprehensive framework for real-time optimization, predictive analytics, and distributed intelligence, while also addressing key challenges such as robustness, explainability, and integration with legacy systems. This lecture offers a forward-looking roadmap for building autonomous, efficient, and secure cognitive networks.
