## Resource

Podcast #25 of IEEE CTN features host Professor Aryan Kaushik in a fascinating discussion with Professors Emil Björnson and Octavia Dobre on 6G, AI, and the practical challenges that must be addressed, and how they can be overcome, across many of the key technologies shaping future 6G networks. The conversation spans a wide range of topics, from enhancing Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) to support conventional smartphones to forward-looking research areas such as quantum communications, quantum sensing, and quantum AI. Throughout the discussion, Professors Björnson and Dobre provide insightful, realistic, and practical perspectives on these emerging technologies and the opportunities and challenges they present This podcast is supported in part by IEEE ICC 2026, held in Glasgow, UK.
