Committee(s)

Technology Law Committee (Lead)

Description

With the phenomenal strides made in technology, computers and blockchain since the onset of the computer revolution, problems remain that simply cannot be solved. The world is beginning to believe quantum computing is the answer. While current computing power helps us to do many amazing things, quantum computing is a vastly different tool we can use to solve complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of ones, zeros and transistors. The panel of technology, business and legal experts will analyse the power of quantum computing and its promise to create a significantly faster future than the one we are used to today, changing our world with applications in all industries and areas of life. The panel will explain the essence of quantum computing and provide a perspective on its business, legal and other implications in the world today and in the future.
