How Quantum Computing will unlock and unleash AI
About this Event

Three of the most popular questions in the private sector around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computers (QC) will be addressed:

1-How will these technologies impact and challenge today’s cybersecurity practices?

2- When are these predicted to occur?

3-What does AI coupled with QC mean for future Cybersecurity?

As with any new technology, they can serve both positive and negative uses. The yin and yang dynamic has never more present in technology than the advent of Quantum Computers. Organizations are now seeking use cases for internally and externally sourced AI solutions. This examination exposes how today's CPU architectures (RISC/CISC) are unable to compete with Quantum Computers that we are starting to see in the world today. While AI is now a force in the world, it is inhibited by the current CPUs. QC will "unlock and unleash" AI's real potential. This has both good and bad consequences for the world, like to solve a complex medical diagnosis to rendering passwords useless.

For one to truly understand how AI can be “unlocked and unleashed”, a basic review of chemical-based computing sets the stage for where AI finds the raw compute power to achieve its potential. This examination brings together the concepts of the exponential scale potential of QC by highlighting the first element Hydrogen. It will expose how quantum mechanical properties of an atom enable multi-orbital computing power. Finally, the examination concludes with predictions for how this impacts cybersecurity. Recommendations of resources, strategic considerations, legal impacts, and suggestions on how an organization could potentially proceed with preparing for the impact of this evolving technology. Today’s CPUs are woefully ill-equipped to handle the massive workloads that AI requires. QC will ‘unlock and unleash’ AI's real potential by exponentially increasing the amount of data and calculations that can be done. The planet is now ‘all in’ in a new cyber arms race for Quantum superiority.
