The second CyberAId tutorial explores the transformative convergence of quantum technology and artificial intelligence within the global financial services sector. While these emerging technologies offer significant opportunities to enhance risk assessment, fraud detection, portfolio optimization, and operational efficiency, they also pose unprecedented challenges to existing cybersecurity frameworks.

Using this evolving landscape as a foundation, the tutorial examines how quantum computing and AI are reshaping digital trust and security in financial institutions. Particular attention is given to the growing threat that quantum computers pose to current cryptographic standards, including risks such as “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks. The tutorial highlights the importance of adopting post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, hybrid computing architectures, and crypto-agile security strategies to ensure long-term resilience.

It also provides an accessible introduction to key quantum computing concepts while outlining practical steps organizations can take to prepare for a post-quantum future. Through this exploration, learners will gain insight into both the opportunities and challenges presented by the next generation of computational technologies and their implications for the future of secure digital finance.
