The world has not yet fully explored the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), and yet another major technological wave is already forming on the horizon: quantum computing. While the transition from acknowledged potential to established, practical application of new quantum technologies remains underway, stakeholders in the real estate industry may soon see growing demand for specialized facilities designed to support quantum research, development and operations.
Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) has moved from lab curiosity to real-world adoption. The inflection point isn’t that enterprises will own quantum computers anytime soon; it’s that usable quantum capacity is becoming accessible through cloud platforms, and leading firms are reporting production-adjacent use cases in real workflows.
In this week’s News of Note, Google and the General Services Administration make a deal to bring Google Gemini to federal agencies, NASA and IBM create a “digital twin” of the Sun, and the largest satellite antenna in history gets launched into space. Elsewhere, plans have been announced to start issuing Department of Commerce statistics to the blockchain.
Quantum computing (QC) is poised to disrupt cybersecurity in ways that business leaders and legal professionals cannot afford to ignore. But what exactly is quantum computing, why does it pose such a significant threat to encryption, and what should businesses be doing about it today?
In this week’s edition of Consumer Protection Dispatch, we look at the latest regulatory developments from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding data and AI.
In today’s News of Note, generative AI continues to draw criticism and even a ban, but that doesn’t stop developers from pushing forward with everything from music prediction and mind-reading—to talking with crabs. Plus, we look at quantum computing in health care, a new report on the impact of deep-sea rare earths mining, and so much more.
It is not every day that the rough-and-tumble “giga” world of mining and mineral refining interacts with the rarefied and metaphysical “nano” realm of quantum physics. The lawyers at Pillsbury and other law firms engaged in each endeavor rarely darken each other’s doors. But the streams are indeed converging today, as rare earths and related critical materials have been found to be uniquely suited for developments in quantum computing.
Today in News of Note, an innovation may pave the way for real-world quantum computing, plus we look at the latest generative AI debuts, how the world is addressing safety concerns with AI in the military, robotic chefs and much more.
In today’s News of Note, we look at a potential boon for Sweden in the race for rare earth metals. We also ponder whether copyrights are solely for humans, or whether AI deserves equal protection for its artistic endeavors, plus the many unexpected applications (and pitfalls) surfacing as AI generators take the world by storm, and much more.
In today’s News of Note, we examine how quantum computers are aiding scientific research and forcing governments to upgrade their cybersecurity defense programs, new AI tools and the continued debate on the ethics of their use, the latest cryptocurrency scams, and much more.
