An Overview of Artificial Intelligence for 5G/6G Wireless Networks Security

Fifth-generation (5G) wireless technologies provide a higher capability for millions of devices to be connected with low latency and high-speed transmission. However, having a wide range of enabling technologies brings additional threats. In this context, network security and privacy play an important role for 5G and beyond networks. In 5G networks, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are useful for improving security. This paper provides an overview of AI-powered intelligent security for 5G and beyond wireless networks. We review several studies on wireless networks that utilize AI features to improve additional security vulnerabilities depending on future technologies at the physical and network levels. The paper also attempts to shed light on potential future research avenues leading to developing security and privacy for 6G networks.
