Part 2/12:
Artificial intelligence today is primarily software—capable of generating essays, mimicking language, and automating tasks. Quantum computers, on the other hand, are hardware marvels that exponentially amplify computational power. When these two forces unite, the result is a formidable alliance—software and hardware working together in a way that surpasses conventional limits.
Mishio Kaku, renowned physicist, has warned that this integration stands at an unprecedented precipice. The merging of quantum computing with AI is not merely speeding up calculations but opening the door to discovering patterns and structures within the universe that hint at embedded intelligence—possibly even consciousness itself.
