It aims to establish fully autonom ous\, intelligent\, and adaptive wireless ecosystems capable of supporting mission-critical services\, immersive applications\, and massive machine- type communications. Realizing this vision calls for a fundamental shift f rom conventional reactive network management towards zero-touch networks —intelligent systems capable of sensing\, learning\, reasoning\, and mak ing decisions with minimal human intervention.\n\nThis lecture explores th e convergence of sensing\, communication\, and artificial intelligence as key enablers of future zero-touch 6G networks. It examines how distributed intelligence\, AI-native architectures\, and real-time environmental awar eness can transform wireless infrastructures into proactive\, autonomous\, and self-optimizing systems.\n\nKey Topics\n\n-\nProactive Network Manage ment: Emerging approaches to proactive mobility management\, intelligent h andover strategies\, and adaptive IoT data collection.\n\n-\nDistributed a nd Scalable AI: Federated learning frameworks for enabling collaborative\, privacy-preserving intelligence across distributed network environments.\ n\n-\nReconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS): Exploiting programmable w ireless environments to dynamically control signal propagation\, enhance c overage and reliability\, and improve energy efficiency.\n\n-\nPractical a nd Sustainable Deployment: Addressing key challenges related to scalabilit y\, sustainability\, trustworthiness\, and real-world implementation of ne xt-generation wireless systems.\n\nBy bringing together advances in AI\, s ensing\, and wireless communications\, this lecture offers a comprehensive perspective on the transition towards autonomous and intelligent 6G ecosy stems.
