Main Conference Day One

9:45 AM The Convergence of AI and Quantum Computing for Government and Commerce

As artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing continue to evolve, their combined potential offers transformative possibilities for both government and commercial sectors. This panel will explore how these two groundbreaking technologies are being harnessed together to drive advancements in national security, data analysis, and business innovation. 

Key discussion points include: 

  • How are AI and quantum computing working in tandem to solve complex problems in government and commerce? 
  • What are the specific use cases where AI enhances the power of quantum computing, and vice versa? 
  • How can governments and industries leverage AI and quantum to improve decision-making, cybersecurity, and operational efficiency? 
  • What are the challenges in integrating AI and quantum systems, and how are these being addressed in terms of infrastructure, talent, and regulation? 
  • What is the future outlook for the combined impact of AI and quantum computing on global competitiveness, economic growth, and national security? 

 

This panel will provide insights into the emerging synergies between AI and quantum computing, and the profound implications they have for shaping the future of digital infrastructure and policy.
