Featured Session: QuantumanAI: Why Your Future Depends on Quantum Computing & Artificial Intelligence

Part of SXSW 2023

This event took place on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 11:30 AM UTC.

Venue: Hilton Austin Downtown, Salon H. Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are two of the most rapidly advancing, controversial, and debated fields in technology today. The convergence of these two technologies will play a significant role in shaping the future of our species and the world as we know it. In this keynote session, "QuantumanAI: Why your future depends on the convergence of Quantum Computing & Artificial Intelligence" we’ll delve into the latest developments in both quantum computing and AI, exploring the opportunities, challenges, and dangers they present. Quantum computing is a revolutionary approach to computing that is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It has the potential to solve problems that are currently beyond the reach of classical computers in the areas of machine learning, optimization, simulation, and cryptography. In recent years, quantum computing has made significant advances, with companies like Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon investing heavily in the development of quantum computing hardware and software. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is the development of technologies and methodologies that can be trained to perform tasks that would historically require human intelligence, such as speech recognition, image classification, and decision making. AI has already made a significant impact in many industries and recent advancements such as Open.ai’s ChatGPT, Google’s LaMDA and BARD, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and other technologies are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into our everyday lives. With more advancements in machine learning and deep learning on the horizon, AI is becoming increasingly capable of solving complex problems and making decisions on its own.
