Quantum computing has rapidly moved from theory to the center of global power politics. In the past month, world leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Japan’s incoming Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi have all highlighted quantum technology as a pillar of national strategy — marking a new phase in the global tech race.
According to The Week, governments and corporations are pouring resources into quantum breakthroughs that promise to revolutionize computing power, cryptography, and materials science. Google, IBM, and India’s Quantum Mission are among the front-runners advancing systems that could outperform classical supercomputers in solving complex real-world problems — from AI optimization to climate modeling and cybersecurity.
The U.S. is accelerating funding for quantum-secure infrastructure, aligning with President Trump’s “America’s Quantum Edge” initiative, while India is investing $6 billion in its National Quantum Mission, aiming to position itself as a global innovation hub by 2035.
The Boston Global Forum (BGF)–AI World Society (AIWS) Family recognizes this surge of quantum activity as a pivotal moment — one that requires ethical standards, responsible research governance, and cross-border collaboration to ensure quantum computing serves humanity rather than destabilizes it.
As BGF and AIWS advance their initiatives on AI-Government 24/7 and Digital Asset Standards, integrating quantum intelligence will be essential to achieving secure, transparent, and trustworthy global governance systems in the AI and quantum age.
