Artificial intelligence may dominate headlines, but retired Army Lt. Gen. Ross Coffman believes another technological shift could have equally significant consequences for national security: the arrival of practical quantum computing.
Coffman, president of Forward Edge-AI, told Military.com in an interview how artificial intelligence is changing military operations, and why cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated. Also, he explained why governments and private industry are beginning to prepare for a future in which quantum computers could undermine many of today’s encryption systems.
Forward Edge-AI develops technologies focused on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and national security applications. Among its offerings is Isidore Quantum, a post-quantum cryptography platform designed to help organizations secure communications against future quantum-computing threats.
Coffman said the company’s work sits at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity and national defense.
