SUMMARY:AI and quantum readiness for engineers - cutting through the hype
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are frequently presented as transformative technologies for engineering organisations\, yet their levels of maturity\, practical applications\, and implementation risks differ significantly.\nThis webinar will provide a balanced\, evidence-based perspective on both fields\, helping engineers understand where genuine opportunities exist today and where expectations may exceed current capability. Drawing on experience across applied AI\, quantum algorithms\, and secure research environments\, the presenter will examine how engineers can assess AI tools for trustworthiness\, security\, and operational suitability. \nParticipants will also gain insight into the current state of quantum computing\, emerging engineering use cases\, and the likely timeline for broader industry impact. \nThe session will conclude with practical guidance on building organisational readiness through capability development\, governance\, data management\, and strategic planning\, enabling engineers to make informed decisions about future technology adoption.
