A quantum algorithm could help us bring AI to life

Artificial intelligence has a sort of buzzword recently, and one that could be put to use in a varied number of fields. In the same manner, quantum computing has also generated newfound interest as a technological game-changer -- one that could, among many uses, improve cybersecurity and even build a new internet. While both have certainly gone a long way in terms of recent developments, both aren't yet as perfect as most want them to be. This is particularly true for AI, which in its current form is largely limited to specialized machine learning algorithms, capable of performing specific tasks in an automated fashion. According to a team of researchers from the Center of Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore (NUS), this process could be greatly improved by quantum computing.
