  Will AI/ML-defined radios become a reality in the near future? In this paper,
we introduce the concept of an AI/ML-defined radio - a radio architecture
specifically designed to support AI/ML-based optimization and decision-making
in communication functions - and depict its promised benefits and potential
challenges. Additionally, we discuss a potential roadmap for the development
and adoption of AI/ML-defined radios, and highlight the enablers for addressing
their associated challenges. While we offer a general overview of the
AI/ML-defined radio concept, our focus throughout the paper remains on Wi-Fi, a
wireless technology that may significantly benefit from the integration of
AI/ML-defined radios, owing to its inherent decentralized management and
operation within unlicensed frequency bands.
