Part 8/13:

An exciting development is the emerging feedback loop between artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. AI is used to design better quantum hardware, while quantum processors are poised to exponentially accelerate AI capabilities. Once quantum systems can efficiently run quantum machine learning algorithms, the potential for AI that processes information fundamentally differently—leveraging superposition and entanglement as features, not bugs—is enormous. This synergy is set to revolutionize every sector, from automation to scientific discovery.
