6G Technology Will Expose People to Untested Electromagnetic Fields

A new wireless 6G internet network is set to deploy globally by the year 2030 to succeed the current 5G. The 6G lead up is promising faster internet speed, convergence of wireless networks with artificial intelligence, and joint communications or “sensing, ”which allows the network’s ability to “infer“ the presence of objects and people.¹ But with promises of greater speed and convenience come threats to both health and privacy.

Worldwide, governments and companies are investing time, money and research into the latest technology that has been well underway since before the rollout of 5G around 2019. Supporters believe 6G capabilities could improve autonomous vehicle capabilities, smart factories, contactless sensing and use of holographic medicine in health care.

The 6G technology is based on a concept known as Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) or Join Communications and Sensing (JCAS). This framework allows the antennas used to communication to “sense” and analyze their surroundings.²

Reportedly, ISAC could enable electronic devices to identify the presence of people behind walls, as well as monitor vital signs such as breathing and heart rate. Routine monitoring of people by ISAC could be accomplished without requiring additional sensors. Combined with machine learning, the 6G technology could also distinguish individuals by their walking patterns and infer gestures or facial characteristics.²

6G sensing operates as a radar system where it can use AI logic to infer the presence of objects or people, allowing operators to know the precise locations, shapes, size, and pace at which the object or person is moving, as well as the materials they may be made of.¹

Germany’s Conference of Independent Data Protection Authorities warned that the technology could usher in unprecedented risks to privacy to anyone within range, regardless of whether they are carrying a mobile phone or not. They argued that individuals would have little practical way to know if they are being scanned or have the option to provide consent to do so.

6G Terahertz Frequencies Affect Living Tissue and Cells

There are existing concerns about the harmful health effects of current 5G networks which operate across frequencies ranging from 0.6 to 48 GHz. 6G networks are expected to extend into the terahertz (THz) frequencies. This higher frequency affects biological cells and living organisms as a whole—a “generally accepted scientific fact,” according to a research paper on THz radiation published in Frontiers of Optoelectronics.^{3 4}

“It is known that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the terahertz (THz) frequency range is well absorbed by a relatively thin layer of water, from 30 to 90% of which is contained in living tissues and cells. It is now a generally accepted scientific fact that THz radiation affects a biological cell and a living organism as a whole.”³

Telecommunications Giants to Deploy 6G with Assumption of Safety

Researchers say the future of 6G could China and the United States are racing to define and own the patents surrounding 6G.⁵ Industry giants such as Samsung Electronics, Nokia, Apple, AT&T, and Qualcomm are among the companies leading research and development of the wireless technology. The multi-trillion-dollar telecommunications industry is unlikely to question or test the safety of mass 6G electromagnetic radiation exposure in humans before its worldwide deployment, just as 5G was rolled out with assumption of safety, rather than proof of safety.⁵

In December 2025, President Trump signed a “Winning the 6G Race” directive to accelerate 6G employment. The outlined purpose states the next generation of mobile communications will be crucial to providing faster and more resilient secure communications for national security, foreign policy, and economic prosperity of the United States. “The technology will play a pivotal role in the development and adoption of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.”⁶

“With 6G “smartphone will be implanted directly into our bodes”

At the World Economic Forum in May of 2022, CEO of Nokia predicted that with the rollout of 6G, “smartphones will be implanted directly into our bodies.”⁶

While there are urgent warnings about safety and pushback against the increasing use of AI and integration of robots and virtual reality in society, Nokia’s webpage “Charting the Path to 6G”⁷ openly embraces it, boasting about the 6G ability to be a “digital twin to reality” for simulating entire cities, “swarms of autonomous AI agents saving lives”, and the ability to project life-sized, holographic representations of human beings into physical rooms to allow genuine human interaction across any distance.

“6G networks will seamlessly blend virtual and physical realities, enabling humans to intuitively move between the digital, physical, and human worlds,” the website states. Nokia also writes that the first 6G specifications are expected to be finalized by the end of 2028 with early deployments in late 2029. “A new generation of applications will emerge that bridge digital and physical realities,” the Nokia website continues. “6G will gain the ability to sense and act on its surroundings, and a plethora of new devices—from robots to wearables—will populate our networks.”⁷
