Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a critical enabler for next-generation wireless networks. However, as AI systems are increasingly deployed for intelligent resource management, signal processing, and network optimizations, the "black-box" nature of complex AI models, particularly deep learning, raises significant concerns regarding their trustworthiness, operational reliability, and decision-making transparency in mission-critical network environments. Unexplained AI failures, vulnerability to adversarial attacks, or unpredictable behavior in open radio environments can lead to severe service of quality (QoS) degradation and security breaches. This session focuses on research at the forefront of wireless communications for Trustworthy, Reliable, and Explainable AI, covering full-stack innovations from secure protocols at the physical layer to self-healing architectures at the network layer.
By bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, this session aims to foster collaboration and advance the state-of-the-art in Trustworthy, Reliable, and Explainable AI networks. We welcome original research papers, case studies, and visionary perspectives that highlight both theoretical and practical advancements in next generation wireless technologies.
