Abstract
This paper explores the development of a quantum-based algorithm to analyze complex and unpredictable events, initially for high-speed financial trading. It suggests that advances in quantum computing could go beyond finance to model global challenges like natural disasters and pandemics.
The study argues that such technology may lead to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), surpassing current AI systems, which are limited to pattern recognition. However, achieving this requires overcoming technical challenges like system instability, and it raises concerns about the unpredictable behavior of future quantum-powered AI.
