Ongoing advancements in quantum computing are challenging conventional paradigms of traditional digital computing and marking a pivotal moment in technological development. The integration of quantum computing with Artificial Intelligence (AI) creates a powerful synergy capable of solving complex problems beyond the reach of current technologies. Quantum AI opens doors to revolutionary advancements in AI algorithms, particularly in domains such as data processing, optimisation, and effective model training. However, this big leap in the history of technology presents groundbreaking innovation as well as formidable obstacles.

In recent times, a framework has been developed by computing scientists that helps AI to learn the way humans do quantum computing, increasingly making humanoid robots more similar to humans. This development has the potential to completely transform AI, increasing its efficiency and enabling thus far unthinkable levels of independent learning. Moreover, hardware companies have shown that building large-scale quantum systems is possible, and early research suggests that quantum transformers could help drive future progress in quantum computing. Despite these encouraging developments, some significant problems persist that must be addressed. Quantum computers require extremely low temperatures to operate (near −273.15°C), the quantum bits (qubits) that power them are notoriously unstable, and there is a possibility that Quantum AI might be considerably more deadly than conventional AI. By examining the potential risks and future prospects, this article seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how this powerful combination could shape the future of technology.
