With the global roll-out of the fifth generation (5G) networks, it is necessary to look beyond 5G and envision the sixth generation (6G) networks. The 6G networks are expected to have space-air-ground integrated networking, advanced network virtualization, and ubiquitous intelligence. This article proposes an artificial intelligence (AI)-native network slicing architecture for 6G networks to facilitate intelligent network management and support emerging AI services. AI is built in the proposed network slicing architecture to enable the synergy of AI and network slicing. AI solutions are investigated for the entire lifecycle of network slicing to facilitate intelligent network management, i.e., AI for slicing. Furthermore, network slicing approaches are discussed to support emerging AI services by constructing slice instances and performing efficient resource management, i.e., slicing for AI. Finally, a case study is presented, followed by a discussion of open research issues that are essential for AI-native network slicing in 6G.
