Looking Ahead: The Intersection of Quantum Computing, AI & Security

AI is rapidly transforming our world—from scientific discovery to business operations to national defense. At the same time, quantum computing is advancing toward a new era of computational power. As these technologies converge, they will significantly amplify one another’s capabilities, creating unprecedented opportunities as well as significant new security challenges.

This changing landscape requires such measures as deploying quantum-resistant security to safeguard data, AI models, and communications as quantum computers begin to challenge current cryptographic standards. Using AI can strengthen cybersecurity solutions through improved threat detection, accelerated incident response, and are resilient security architectures.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to counter the malicious use of AI by hostile state actors, extremist groups, and criminals in the face of quantum resources that accelerate model development and attack automation
• Identify how adversarial attacks on AI systems can exploit model weaknesses and ways quantum-enhanced methods may increase their sophistication
• Review your agency’s systems and datasets to locate and prioritize security vulnerabilities that need to be addressed
