Industries across the enterprise are advancing their use of both private and public 5G networks as an increasing number of CIOs and other leaders identify business opportunities that require the capacity, low latency and reliability that only the fifth generation of broadband cellular technology delivers. Recent research underscores that growth. The global 5G services market is expected to become a $664.75 billion market, according to a recent 5G market report from Grand View Research. That means a compound annual growth rate of 46.2% from 2021 to 2028. The research firm also predicted 5G adoption and use to grow in numerous industries, including agriculture, retail and utilities. CIOs and other executives across verticals will need to identify the business opportunities 5G enables and understand where and how it can be the differentiator.

An illuminated 5G sign hangs behind a weave of electronic cables on the opening day of the MWC ... [ ] Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain, on Monday, Feb. 25, 2019. At the wireless industry's biggest conference, over 100,000 people are set to see the latest innovations in smartphones, artificial intelligence devices and autonomous drones exhibited by more than 2,400 companies. At the core of this evolutionary step is the use of machine learning algorithms. The ability to be more dynamic with real-time network optimization capabilities such as resource loading, power budget balancing and interference detection is what made networks "smart" in the 4G era. While there are many uses of machine learning across all layers of a 5G network from the physical layer through to the application layer, the base station is emerging as a key application for machine learning.

Artificial Intelligence can help detect one of the most common forms of blood cancer - acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) - with high reliability, new research has found. Their approach, based on the analysis of the gene activity of cells found in the blood, could support conventional diagnostics and possibly accelerate the beginning of therapy, said the study published in the journal iScience. In the early stages the symptoms of AML can resemble those of a bad cold. However, AML is a life-threatening disease that should be treated as quickly as possible. "With a blood test, as it seems possible on the basis of our study, it is conceivable that the family doctor would already clarify a suspicion of AML," said Joachim Schultze, a research group leader at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE).

Every AI system is deployed by a human organization. In high risk applications, the combined human plus AI system must function as a high-reliability organization in order to avoid catastrophic errors. This short note reviews the properties of high-reliability organizations and draws implications for the development of AI technology and the safe application of that technology.
