Converging Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Technologies: Accelerated Growth Effects in Technological Evolution

10 May 2024 | Mario Coccia
The article explores the accelerated growth effects of converging artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies in technological evolution. It uses a technometric model based on scientific and technological information (publications and patents) to analyze the growth rates of AI, quantum technologies, and their interaction. The findings show that quantum technology has a growth rate of 1.07, AI technology has a growth rate of 1.37, while the interaction between AI and quantum technologies has an accelerated growth rate of 1.58, which is higher than the growth rates of these technologies individually. This suggests that technological interaction is a key determinant in the rapid evolution of path-breaking technologies and disruptive innovations. The study also highlights the disproportionate (allometric) growth of patents driven by publications, indicating that scientific and technological change is accelerated through interactions between radical technologies. The results have implications for policy and managerial decisions, suggesting that R&D investments should focus on fruitful inter-relationships between radical technologies to foster scientific and technological change with positive societal and economic impacts. The study also discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of the interaction between AI and quantum technologies, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaboration in driving technological innovation. The findings suggest that the convergence of AI and quantum technologies has the potential to generate significant technological and economic changes, and that further research is needed to fully understand the dynamics of technological evolution in these fields.The article explores the accelerated growth effects of converging artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies in technological evolution.
