The European 6G flagship project Hexa-X has the objective to conduct exploratory research on the next generation of mobile networks with the intention to connect human, physical and digital worlds with a fabric of technology enablers. Within this scope, one of the main research challenges is the ambition for beyond 5G (B5G)/6G systems to support, enhance and enable real-time trustworthy control by transforming Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) technologies into a vital and trusted tool for large-scale deployment of interconnected intelligence available to the wider society. Hence, the study and development of concepts and solutions enabling AI-driven communication and computation co-design for a B5G /6G communication system is required. This paper focuses on describing the possibilities that emerge with the application of AI & ML mechanisms (with emphasis on ML) to 6G networks, identifying the resulting challenges and proposing some potential solution approaches.
