Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, from the way we work to the way we interact with machines. As AI becomes more sophisticated, so too do the potential security risks.

Although AI and quantum computing can enable better security, they also threaten security at the same time. These converging technologies independently pose an existential risk to cybersecurity, and both have significant security ramifications.

Let’s look at some of the critical issues at the intersection of AI, quantum and security. In this article, we’ll make sense of the language surrounding quantum computing and AI. We’ll also look at the malicious use of AI, and outline a strategy for guarding AI systems and the coming quantum computing threat.
