AI + Quantum + Blockchain: Navigating the Convergence

AI is transforming how we analyze data and make decisions, but it raises hard questions about transparency and accountability.

Quantum computing, meanwhile, promises massive speedups for complex problems while threatening to break the very encryption that secures nearly everything we do online.

Blockchain offers a way to address those concerns through immutable records and decentralized governance.

These three technologies are converging fast. By 2030, quantum computers may be capable of cracking RSA-2048 encryption, and adversaries are already stockpiling encrypted data to decrypt later.

NIST has set firm deadlines for migrating to quantum-resistant or post-quantum cryptography (PQC), yet most organizations have barely started.

This talk explores how AI, blockchain, and quantum computing intersect, what the approaching "Y2Q" scenario means for IoT and enterprise systems, and what practical steps organizations should take now to prepare.
