Quantum artificial intelligence gains popularity among companies.
A large number of companies are exploring the potential of quantum artificial intelligence, according to a survey.
The adoption of quantum artificial intelligence (quantum AI) is gaining momentum among companies, with more than 60% investing in or researching this technology, according to a recent study. The results show that the most common use of quantum AI is in data analytics and machine learning, with 48% of companies exploring these areas. Additionally, research and development are also significant, at 41%, with cybersecurity coming in third place at 35%.
Other sectors considering quantum AI include supply chain and logistics (31%), financial and risk management (26%), as well as marketing (20%). This technology, which combines current artificial intelligence with the potential of quantum computing, promises to revolutionize how data is processed and analyzed, as well as enhance the training of machine learning models and the solving of complex problems.
However, full adoption encounters various obstacles, such as high costs (38%), a lack of knowledge and understanding of the technology (35%), uncertainty regarding real-world use cases (31%), and a shortage of skilled workers (31%). The absence of regulatory guidelines is also mentioned as a hindrance (26%).
Despite skepticism surrounding the use cases for quantum AI, many experts suggest that current research is laying the groundwork for its development. Industries that could benefit from this technology include life sciences, in drug discovery; financial services, in risk management; and manufacturing, in process optimization.
