Abstract
The sixth generation (6G) networks are expected to provide a fully connected world with terrestrial wireless and satellite communications integration. The design concept of 6G networks is to leverage artificial intelligence (Ai) to promote the intelligent and agile development of network services. intelligent services inevitably involve the processing of large amounts of data, such as storage, computing, and analysis, such that the data may be vulnerable to tampering or contamination by attackers. in this article, we propose a blockchain-based data security scheme for Ai applications in 6G networks. Specifically, we first introduce the 6G architecture (i.e., a space-air-ground-underwater integrated network). Then we discuss two Ai-enabled applications, indoor positioning and autonomous vehicle, in the context of 6G. Through a case study of an indoor navigation system, we demonstrate the effectiveness of blockchain in data security. The integration of Ai and blockchain is developed to evaluate and optimize the quality of intelligent service. Finally, we discuss several open issues about data security in the upcoming 6G networks.Keywords
