As AI continues to proliferate from autonomous systems to industrial automation, so too will the demand for quick, reliable, low-latency connectivity. This evolution will place spectrum policy as a central pillar for AI advancement, underpinning the key infrastructure needed for these systems to deploy. The advancements of 6G technology—the sixth generation of mobile communication technology set to surpass 5G in speed, connectivity, and AI integration—will also accelerate the demand for broader spectrum.
As 6G is being developed with AI integration, the capability of this technology will depend on access to midband spectrum, further integrating the importance of spectrum, AI, and telecommunications policy as interdependent. The United States will need to expand the spectrum pipeline to meet the demand of AI, 5G, and 6G, which is increasingly reliant on high-speed, low-latency connectivity for training, inference, and edge computing. Given this convergence of factors, spectrum policy is increasingly resembling AI policy, and the failure to adapt to the needs of the present moment ultimately risks U.S. competitiveness against China.
