Artificial intelligence algorithms, fueled by continuous technological development and increased computing power, have proven effective across a variety of tasks. Concurrently, quantum computers have shown promise in solving problems beyond the reach of classical computers. These advancements have contributed to a misconception that quantum computers enable hypercomputation, sparking speculation about quantum supremacy leading to an intelligence explosion and the creation of superintelligent agents. We challenge this notion, arguing that current evidence does not support the idea that quantum technologies enable hypercomputation. Fundamental limitations on information storage within finite spaces and the accessibility of information from quantum states constrain quantum computers from surpassing the Turing computing barrier. While quantum technologies may offer exponential speed-ups in specific computing cases, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that focusing solely on quantum-related problems will lead to technological singularity and the emergence of superintelligence. Subsequently, there is no premise suggesting that general intelligence depends on quantum effects or that accelerating existing algorithms through quantum means will replicate true intelligence. We propose that if superintelligence is to be achieved, it will not be solely through quantum technologies. Instead, the attainment of superintelligence remains a conceptual challenge that humanity has yet to overcome, with quantum technologies showing no clear path toward its resolution.

论人工智能的量子计算



在不断的技术发展和计算能力增强的推动下,人工智能算法已被证明在各种任务中都有效。与此同时,量子计算机在解决经典计算机无法解决的问题方面也表现出了希望。这些进步助长了一种误解,认为量子计算机可以实现超计算,引发了人们对量子霸权的猜测,从而导致智能爆炸和超级智能代理的诞生。我们对这一观点提出质疑,认为目前的证据并不支持量子技术能够实现超计算的观点。有限空间内信息存储的基本限制以及量子态信息的可访问性限制了量子计算机超越图灵计算障碍。虽然量子技术可能在特定的计算情况下提供指数级的加速,但没有足够的证据表明仅关注与量子相关的问题将导致技术奇点和超级智能的出现。因此,没有任何前提表明一般智能取决于量子效应,或者通过量子手段加速现有算法将复制真正的智能。我们建议,如果要实现超级智能,就不能仅仅通过量子技术。相反,超级智能的实现仍然是人类尚未克服的概念性挑战,量子技术没有显示出解决该问题的明确途径。
