Kazi on QAI in Trondheim
I recently attended and served as a panellist at the 2025 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2025) conference in Trondheim. I represented Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) in a panel session titled “Quantum Computational Intelligence and AI” on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. The panel aimed to explore the rapidly evolving intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on computational intelligence (CI) techniques and their practical implications.
My contribution to the panel centred around the theme “Quantum AI: Hype vs Reality,” where I highlighted key insights into distinguishing genuine advances in Quantum AI from exaggerated claims. I aimed to clarify its realistic potential and limitations.
During the discussion, we engaged in dynamic conversations covering a range of important topics, including Quantum Evolutionary and Fuzzy Systems, quantum-inspired optimization methods for decision-making, real-world applications of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), Hybrid Quantum Genetic Algorithms (HQGA), and the role of Quantum CI in enhancing human-machine collaborative learning environments.
Participating in this event provided an excellent opportunity to represent OsloMet, exchange knowledge with leading researchers and practitioners, and gain valuable insights into future directions and challenges in Quantum AI and Computational Intelligence. This experience highlights the importance of active collaboration and ongoing research at the intersection of quantum technologies and AI—areas to which OsloMet is committed to advancing.
