The B5G/6G mobile telecommunication systems expect to realize Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) applications with the help of edge intelligence/AI by the marriage of edge/fog computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, Federated Learning (FL), a promising and privacy-preserving edge intelligence framework, is the key to bringing the era of AIoT. This talk will show an exemplary AIoT service platform based on the FL framework to support mobile dashcam video analysis. Then, we will demonstrate existing privacy and security threats in the FL system triggered by malicious end devices and the abnormal aggregator. Finally, we will show the integration of semi-supervised learning and knowledge distillation techniques into the current FL framework and discuss future FL research directions.
