Ethical and Assurance Implications of Quantum Technology 🇬🇧

Technologies relying on quantum mechanical effects to exhibit advanced characteristics are approaching practical implementation. These quantum computers and devices are intended to have a wide array of capabilities including qubit processing, inertial navigation, secure communication, and sensitive radio frequency receiving. This talk explores ethical and compliance challenges arising from quantum technology applications and outlines potential risk mitigations. For example, ethical and compliance practices analogous to nascent artificial intelligence ethics frameworks can be incorporated into the development and use of quantum devices.
