Join us for an informative seminar on Quantum Computing brought to you in collaboration with the Digital Law Association.
Emerging quantum technologies could be worth at least $86 billion globally by 2040.
This seminar will provide an overview on how quantum technologies use quantum principles such as superposition and entanglement to achieve new functionalities; and how this has the potential to enhance existing AI technology (e.g. self-driving cars) and revolutionise almost every industry, from natural resources (e.g. discovery of ore deposits, groundwater monitoring, weather modelling and environmental monitoring) to defence to healthcare and medicine (e.g. drug development and medical research) to financial services (e.g. stock market analysis) and communication (e.g. secure quantum communications and cybersecurity). This new and soon to be pervasive technology raises issues around privacy, security, transparency, accountability and equitable distribution of costs and benefits.
This seminar will examine these issues focusing on protecting the rights of individuals (the right to due process, anti-discrimination laws, employment law, criminal law, privacy and data security) and how to create operational transparency to ensure that fairness metrics are maintained in accordance with legal standards.
