Quantum computing and machine learning are not a match made in heaven. But in the world of humans, opposites do attract, and similarly, both these sciences requiring completely different backgrounds and skills are intrinsically related when it comes to driving futuristic technologies. Of course, the extent of influence that quantum computing will have on AI remains an open question. Still, most experts believe quantum computing will alter AI significantly in the times to come – probably even make it more humane and efficient.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have emerged as two key areas of research for applying quantum computing algorithms. The natural synergies between the two fields could change the future of data science in several ways, which are discussed in this episode.
