Abstract: In this article, a new type of multiple access, termed Environment-Division Multiple Access (EDMA), is introduced and its interaction with AI-native communication networks is illustrated. In particular, the key properties of EDMA, such as utilizing the features of wireless propagation environments, integrating advanced flexible antennas, and proactively reconfiguring propagation environments, are described. The article also illustrates two types of applications of AI tools to multiple access, namely AI-assisted EDMA and AI-native EDMA. Finally, open problems and important directions for future research in AI-assisted EDMA are discussed.
