 nAbstract:\n\nMachine learning (ML) and AI will play a key role in the dev
 elopment of 6G networks. Network virtualization and network software solut
 ions in 5G networks can support data-driven intelligent and automated netw
 orks to some extent and this trend will grow in 5G-advanced networks. In 6
 G networks\, network intelligence is envisioned to be end-to-end\, and air
  interface is envisioned to be AI-native. The user equipment (UE) devices 
 need to be smarter\, environment and context aware\, and capable of runnin
 g ML algorithms. The mobile networks standardization bodies including 3GPP
  has started discussing AI solutions in almost all working groups. This ta
 lk will give a brief overview of various activities in 3GPP in this domain
  with focus on the main challenges in developing machine learning solution
 s in 5G use cases and emphasize with a case study how deployment of these 
 solutions is much harder in a real network as compared to theoretical perf
 ormance evaluation. Further\, a vision for paradigm shift from AI-as-an-en
 abler to AI-Native air-interface will be provided for 6G networks.\n\nBio:
