Artificial intelligence has been infiltrating our daily workflows and routine tasks for while now. It may be AI working in the background, as with Gemini’s integration across Google products, or you may be engaging more directly with popular content generators such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Dall-E. Looming in the not-too-distant future are amped-up virtual assistants. As if AI itself weren’t futuristic enough, now there’s a whole new leap forward on the horizon: quantum AI. It’s a fusion of artificial intelligence with unconventional and still largely experimental quantum computing into a super-fast and highly efficient technology. Quantum computers will be the muscles, while AI will be the brains. Artificial intelligence is a technology that mimics human decision making and problem solving. It’s software that can recognize patterns, learn from data and even “understand” language enough to interact with us, via chatbots, to recommend movies or to identify faces or things in photos. One powerful type of AI is generative AI, which goes beyond simple data analysis or predictions. Gen AI models create new content based on their training data — like text, images and sounds. Think ChatGPT, Dall-E, Midjourney, Gemini, Claude and Adobe Firefly, to name a few. These tools are powered by large language models trained on tons of data, allowing them to produce realistic outputs. But behind the scenes, even the most advanced AI is still limited by classical computing — the kind that happens in Windows and Mac computers, in the servers that populate data centers and even in supercomputers. But there’s only so far that binary operations will get you. And that’s where quantum computing could change the game.
