Two Technologies, No Playbook: Governing the Quantum-AI Convergence

Come for an evening of insights, networking and conversation. Book your tickets on Eventbrite here. Quantum computing threatens to break the encryption most of the world still relies on. AI is getting more autonomous, faster than most organisations can govern it. Put the two together and you get a problem nobody's built a framework for yet, because the rules are still being written for each technology. Post-quantum cryptography isn't a someday problem. The security window is closing now, and most organisations haven't started hardening against it. At the same time, agentic AI is being deployed faster than the governance models that are supposed to sit around it. Neither field is fully governed on its own. Together, they're being called one of the biggest looming risks in cybersecurity, and one of the least prepared for. Bristol Innovations and QTIC welcome you to the next event in our panel series that brings together a professor working at the research edge of quantum and AI, an enterprise leader navigating real deployment and risk decisions, a startup founder addressing the key challenges in this space, and an industry expert who sees the policy landscape across both sectors.
