Abstract:

As a graduate student researching quantum machine learning at the Institute for Quantum Computing, Joan wanted to better understand the ethical implications of her work. Drawing from conversations on AI ethics and taking a critical perspective on many of the promises being made in the quantum computing space, Joan founded the Quantum Ethics Project to build community around ensuring quantum technology benefits everyone and harms no one. In this seminar Joan will give an introduction to quantum ethics and share her perspective on her career journey into this field.
