How Quantum Computing Could Defeat Today's Encryption and What We Should Do to Protect Ourselves

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, quantum computing stands out as one of the most revolutionary advancements of the 21st century. While it promises to solve complex problems in fields like medicine, materials science, and artificial intelligence, it also poses a significant threat to the cryptographic systems that underpin modern cybersecurity. In this blog post, we’ll explore how quantum computing could defeat today’s encryption methods and what steps we should take today to safeguard our digital future.

Beyond the Buzzwords: How New Computing Technologies Are Reshaping AI

When we talk about advances in artificial intelligence, most people think about bigger datasets and more powerful versions of the computers we use today - huge datacentres with unimaginable processing power that give the guise of computer-based intelligence. However, two radically different approaches to computing are opening up new possibilities for how machines process information and thus where the future of true Articifcal Intelligence resides. Traditional computers - including those running today’s AI systems - work like incredibly fast calculators, processing information one step at a time using binary code (1s and 0s).
