Bulent Yavuz · Advances in computational intelligence and robotics book series · 2024
This chapter underscores the pivotal role of quantum computing and its potential to offer insights into revolutionizing research in social sciences and addressing pressing global issues. It explores the digitization of social sciences and abstract fields such as history, sociology, and philosophy, examining societal implications, opportunities, and challenges. Quantum computing offers solutions by leveraging quantum mechanics to process information in new ways. Traditional bit-based computing falls short in handling vast unstructured data. Quantum computing's capabilities are essential for digitizing cognitive processes and achieving near-perfect fidelity in immersive environments. However, it necessitates urgent regulatory measures to prevent uncontrolled development and potential threats. These technologies hold immense potential to address global challenges, enhance cognitive processes, and promote global peace, environmental sustainability, and economic stability.
