Every technological leap comes with its own unique risks and downsides. The looming advent of quantum computing is no exception.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has obviously taken existing computer hardware to a whole new level. The biggest-ever computing leap, however, has yet to come.

That's the looming explosion of quantum computing -- a new kind of platform that's completely different from binary code-based processors used by nearly every kind of computer today. See, quantum computers utilize the unique properties of subatomic particles -- broadly referred to as qubits -- making them shockingly fast. Problems that would take years (if not decades, or even centuries) for conventional AI to solve can be completed in a matter of minutes with a quantum computing platform.
