6G and AI: Intelligence Fabric

Communication networks are entering a new phase. Artificial intelligence is no longer an added layer. It is becoming part of how networks are designed and operated.

Magnus Frodigh from Ericsson will explore how 6G systems are being developed with AI at their core. This approach enables real-time intelligence across devices, edge and cloud, supporting more adaptive and autonomous services.

This event is part of Concordia’s collaboration with Ericsson, its first Tier 1 university partner in North America.

Concordia students, faculty and staff are invited to attend.

The 6G/AI Intelligence Fabric envisions a tightly integrated architecture in which communication networks and artificial intelligence are co-designed as a single, cohesive system rather than layered components. It delivers pervasive, real-time intelligence across devices, edge, and cloud, enabling autonomous decision-making and adaptive services at scale. By embedding AI natively within the network fabric, 6G can continuously optimize performance, security, and resource utilization while unlocking transformative applications. This talk explores the key challenges, emerging trends, and strategic opportunities shaping this paradigm.

Dr. Magnus Frodigh is Advisor at the CTO office. In his former role as head of Ericsson research he has led Ericsson’s long-term technology research organization, its close collaboration with academia and industry, and its contributions to the Ericsson business and product development.

He holds a Master of Science degree from Linköping University of Technology, Sweden, and a Ph.D. in Radio Communication Systems from the Royal Institute of Technology. He is a Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA).

Frodigh joined Ericsson in 1994 and has over the past three decades held various key senior positions within Research and Development and Product Management, throughout the generations of mobile technology, from 2G all the way to current research on 6G technologies. He holds 29 patents.
