Abstract: In this talk, i will introduce the work of the European Quantum Readiness Center, which on behalf of the Quantum Flagship aims to understand better the growth of the quantum technology industry ecosystem and how AI can be used to accelerate quantum research and education. For the former, I will discuss our efforts to understand challenges and opportunities for the quantum companies and how we use generative AI is used to analyse large amounts of quantum job data. With respect to the use of AI, i will present some of our own  research examples such as the first use of AlphaZero beyond the realm of games as well as our efforts to use GPT technology to map out and classify use cases of AI algorithms in quantum research and opportunities for what we call hybrid intelligence as well as our efforts to classify quantum inspired and NISQ and FTQC research papers in order to both combat increasing hype and misinformation and to crowdsource hardware requirements for the construction of full-scale quantum computers.

Finally, i will discuss our efforts to provide all lecturers at Aarhus University with individual course chatbots for their students as well as training material in prompt engineering and creation of custom GPTs as student exercises.

About the speaker: Jacob Sherson holds professorships of Management at Aarhus University and Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University and is Director of the Center for Hybrid Intelligence and the game-based citizen science platform ScienceAtHome with +300,000 contributors.
