    "excerpt": "By Guy Diedrich , Forbes Councils Member. Guy Diedrich, Senior Vice President and Global Innovation Officer at Cisco . ​If artificial intelligence (AI) is the defining technology of this decade, quantum computing is undoubtedly the face of the next one. But the most important story is not what each innovation does alone, but what happens when they converge. Quantum will accelerate the pace of AI, and AI will optimize quantum. It is a two-way street, and the stakes are massive. We can unlock problems once considered unsolvable, but we also risk exposing critical systems to vulnerabilities the world is not yet prepared to defend against. This convergence is happening right now. We are looking at a global GDP increase of approximately $56 trillion over the next five years, powered by advances in AI, quantum and other technologies. Capturing that opportunity, while managing its risks, will require institutions to strengthen their technology and people in equal measure. AI is already reshaping industries. Across every sector, AI is delivering capabilities that augment what any one person can do alone. Healthcare offers one of the best illustrations. Take something as familiar as a radiologist reviewing a scan. The technology brings speed and pattern recognition. The clinician brings judgment and contextual reasoning. Together, they produce outcomes neither could achieve alone, yet...",
