Is America ready for super-charged AI? Planning for the Quantum Future

Описание: Flying cars. Miracle medicines. Robots with emotions. These were concepts of a distant future, but rapid advances in quantum computing technology are leading policymakers to realize that the future is closer than we thought.

Quantum machines are poised to have real-world applications in this decade and super-charge artificial intelligence in the next. These advances will help to solve previously unsolvable problems—from healthcare to medicine—while also posing a major test to U.S. economic and national security—from threats to standard encryption to more sophisticated weapons systems.

But how close are we to reaching these milestones?

This panel will gather experts to discuss the public policy implications of advances in quantum computing, how America’s rivals are surging forward in this emerging technology space and what the United States must do to remain at the forefront.

R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.”

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.
