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. “My colleagues sometimes ask me why I left the burgeoning field of AI to focus on quantum computing,” Hartmut Neven, founder of Google’s Quantum AI lab, wrote in a December blog post introducing the Willow quantum chip. “My answer is that both will prove to be the most transformational technologies of our time, but advanced AI will significantly benefit from access to quantum computing.”
