Smart 'brain' can combine with 5G to boost innovative business

Now is an exciting time to be an engineer or technology enthusiast. We're starting to see ideas that were talked about as only concepts in science fiction, making their way into the mainstream.

For instance, AI(artificial intelligence) and 5G(fifth-generation telecom technology) are the most frequently heard buzzwords. Be it a keynote speech or a research paper, these buzzwords are always there somewhere. They were ringing in my ears all the time during the Mobile World Congress Shanghai late last month.

China Mobile, the nation's top telecom carrier, has pledged last week to implement a "Double Gigabyte" initiative, supporting superfast internet connection for both mobile and fixed broadband connections.
