A FUTURE OF FINANCE WEBINAR WITH CTOs AND CISOs IN FINANCIAL SERVICES, TECHNOLOGIST AND ACADEMICS
Thursday 19 November 2020, 14.00 – 15.00 UK Time
Every Chief Technology Officer knows that quantum computing has the potential to disrupt not just their technology but their entire industry. Yet like nuclear fusion, it always seems to lie somewhere beyond their retirement date. The truth is that quantum computing power is on a Moore’s Law-style trajectory of doubling every twelve months. This means disruption by quantum computing is closer at hand than most people think. And the impact is likely to be felt in cyber-security first. Unlike CTOs, CISOs cannot afford to take the risk that quantum computing is always 30 years away. This event will bring together quantum computing and cyber-security experts to explore whether the financial services industry is right to be cautious or wrong to be complacent
Topics to include:
• The engineering problems that remain to be solved
• What quantum computing costs now and in the future
• How firms might actually access quantum computing services (e.g. from the Cloud)
• Why business is slow to invest in quantum computing
• Impact of quantum computing on artificial intelligence (AI)
• Businesses that are investing in quantum computing and why
• VCs that are investing in quantum computing and why
Threats-cum-opportunities:
– Its impact on cyber security (especially cryptographic code breaking, new forms of encryption)
– Impact on portfolio investing
– Predicting financial market movements
– Enhancing anti-fraud, AML, KYC, CFT, and sanctions screening
– Financial risk management
– Assessing insurance risks
– Transport (e.g. self-driving cars, traffic flows)
– Health (e.g. genome sequencing, pharmaceuticals, genetic diseases, pandemic mapping)
– Agriculture
– Strategic threats, including geopolitical threats
– Existential threats to humanity from Superintelligence
