Abstract
The move to fifth-generation wireless technology (5G) in the next few years is tremendously important to the semiconductor and telecommunication industries worldwide. Experts predict 5G to deliver speeds 10 to 40 times current 4G LTE networks. Its lower latency promises to empower new applications from augmented reality and automated factories to autonomous vehicles. Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to change dramatically businesses from agriculture to healthcare. However, cyber-attacks and hacking could threaten the progress made by the much more advanced and sophisticated technology. Reportedly, a Russian cyber-attack brought down Kiev’s electrical grid for a day and, as Microsoft Corporation stated, Iranian hackers have targeted more than 200 companies and government entities worldwide recently, stealing corporate secrets, wiping out data, and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity (Wall Street Journal, March 8, 2019). This investigation focuses on current progress in the development of the 5G Network and artificial intelligence, the geopolitical aspect of international cooperation and competition, and the increased risk of destructive cyber-attacks.
