6G-Cloud is excited to take part in the First Workshop on Native AI in Future Networks (NAIFNET), which will be held in Budapest from June 23-27, 2025, as part of IEEE NetSoft 2025. This event brings together experts to explore AI-native approaches in next-generation networks, including 6G. Our participation aligns with our commitment to advancing intelligent network solutions.

About NAIFNET​

New architecture enablers and vision are needed for future networks, including 6G, which is flexible, efficient, and able to cope with dynamically changed demands and environments. In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools to innovate network design and operations at all layers, domains, and planes. Such integration of AI with networking functions, called the “native AI” approach, is seen as a key technology for future networks. Using new concepts and technologies like cloud-native and cloud continuum extends the applicability of AI supporting the AI as a Service approach that needs management and orchestration of AI components. The NAIFNET workshop will focus on native AI architectures, i.e., network system architectures that assume deep integration of network and AI functions by design; however, other native AI-related topics are also in scope. It aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry committed to making AI in networks a reality and interested in the evolution of network architectures and infrastructures for native AI support.
