Artificial intelligence has revolutionized knowledge, offering quicker and more accurate access to information. Since 2022, AI has experienced exponential growth, becoming the leading global technology in user adoption. Walter Pasquarelli, Advisor, Researcher, and Speaker on Generative AI Policy, highlighted this shift during his session at the Knowledge Summit 2024. Pasquarelli stressed that knowledge is the foundation of understanding the world, driving significant investments in the sector. He predicted that by 2030, AI could account for nearly 90% of global digital content. However, he also warned of the risks posed by deepfakes, which could cause widespread social confusion by blurring the line between reality and fabrication. Pasquarelli emphasized the urgent need to verify digital content’s authenticity before accepting it as truth.

Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is a revolutionary field of computing that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems at incredibly high speeds compared to traditional computing. It is expected to drive transformative changes in areas such as encryption and cybersecurity, chemistry and pharmaceutical manufacturing, AI, IoT, financial services, space and aviation, satellite technology, and many other fields. 
Quantum computing, a branch of physics, utilizes quantum mechanics to study the unique behavior of microscopic particles such as electrons and photons. Unlike traditional computing, which relies on electrical circuits that exist in only two states (0 and 1), quantum computers use quantum bits, or "qubits," which can exist in a superposition of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. This superposition enables quantum computers to perform parallel processing, greatly enhancing their efficiency in solving complex problems.
However, the development of effective, practically usable quantum computers is still in its early stages. Significant technical challenges must be addressed before these advanced machines become a part of our daily lives.
