Why quantum computing is even more dangerous than Artificial Intelligence

The world has already failed to regulate AI. Let’s not repeat that epic mistake. The dangers of AI lie in its ability to make decisions autonomously, with flaws in the computer code resulting in unanticipated, often detrimental, outcomes. This must be seen as a warning for other aspects of advanced technology. Vivek Wadhwa and Mauritz Kop reflect on the potential perils of quantum computing and the urgent need to need to regulate this technology before it accelerates out of control.
