The Age of Artificial Intelligence is here. In 2025, there are few regulations governing artificial intelligence. While the expansion of artificial intelligence is going in a relatively good direction, there is a risk that it can be misused. Misuse of technology is nothing new and will continue to happen. The lack of regulation in artificial intelligence is necessary because it raises the question of how we can move forward without knowing what the limits are. While artificial intelligence dominates the technology industry, new technology is starting to emerge. Quantum cryptography is expected to replace classical cryptography; however, the transition from classical to quantum cryptography is expected to occur within the next 10 years. The ability to transition from classical to quantum cryptography requires hybrid cryptography. Hybrid cryptography can be used now; however, similar to artificial intelligence, there is no regulation or support for the regulatory infrastructure regarding hybrid machines. This paper will explore the regulatory gaps in hybrid cryptography. The paper will also offer solutions to fix the gaps and ensure the transition from classical to quantum cryptography is safely and effectively completed.

Businesses are using post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technologies to safeguard digital data from the increasing computational capabilities of quantum machines. The rise of quantum-safe hybrid ecosystems is a notable shift in cryptographic methodology, merging the security benefits of quantum-resistant algorithms with conventional cryptographic approaches. Quantum computers will possess exceptional ability in handling complex simulations and optimization tasks by the year 2030. Industries such as finance, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, and logistics are incorporating quantum computing into their operations. They are utilizing quantum algorithms to do complex risk assessments and facilitate data transmission. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and PQC is anticipated to significantly enhance the security and effectiveness of cryptographic systems. Adopting PQC into space communications is essential for ensuring global security and compatibility. Establishing common standards is vital to protect against potential threats and maintain worldwide security. Global collaboration is essential to create policies and ethical principles for PQC adoption and utilization. The ability of quantum computers to decipher encrypted communications raises privacy concerns. By 2030, quantum technologies are expected to make a deep impact on society and culture, leading to the development of a new cultural awareness and preparing humanity for the upcoming quantum revolution.
This article discusses the relationship between artificial intelligence and quantum cryptography. Key areas where the two technologies can positively impact each other are highlighted. Such areas include optimization of quantum key distribution using artificial intelligence, quantum cryptography as a method for ensuring cybersecurity of systems with artificial intelligence, quantum intelligence in cryptanalysis, and hybrid classical-quantum systems. The regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and quantum cryptography technologies is considered using the example of a number of countries: Russia, India, China, Europe. Based on the analysis, the main problems of introducing artificial intelligence into quantum cryptography were identified.
Quantum computing is rapidly emerging as a transformative technological paradigm with the potential to disrupt cryptography, optimization, material science, and artificial intelligence. However, its dual-use nature introduces profound regulatory, ethical, and geopolitical challenges. This paper explores the governance landscape of quantum computing, emphasizing the need for anticipatory policy frameworks, international coordination, and responsible innovation mechanisms. It highlights risks related to cybersecurity, algorithmic inequality, and technological monopolization. The study proposes a multi-layered regulatory model integrating national strategies, global treaties, and industry self-regulation to ensure equitable and secure quantum development
The emerging threat to current cryptographic infrastructures supporting the world's data security and privacy regimes is the accelerating development of quantum computing. RSA and several other classical encryption systems are susceptible to quantum algorithms like the Shor algorithm, and thus to the quantum threat on the pillars of digital trust. The implications of these quantum threats on regulation have been critically reviewed in this paper by looking at the suitability of the current data protection and cybersecurity guidelines in combating the emerging risks. Even though, in the present legal system, as has been introduced, e.g. in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, in India, the technology-neutral approach is applied, the disruptive capacity of quantum computing on the encryption standards is not directly addressed. The study adopts the policy-oriented perspective and assesses the phenomenon of harvest now, decrypt later and the effect it has on data security in the long term, intergenerational privacy, and regulation accountability. It examines the activity of the international work on the topic of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), in particular, it is also concerned with the projects that involve the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and identifies the inconsistency between the technical context of standards and the legal one.

The emergence of quantum computing presents significant challenges to existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems, particularly concerning the security of current cryptographic algorithms. As quantum computers evolve, traditional public-key cryptography methods like RSA and ECC face increasing vulnerability, necessitating a transition to quantum-resistant alternatives. This document explores the critical intersection of post-quantum cryptography and IAM, examining the transformation required in security frameworks to maintain resilience in a quantum-enabled future. The discussion encompasses the evolution of quantum threats to current IAM implementations, the development of post-quantum cryptographic solutions, the essential transformation of IAM infrastructure, and the integration of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and quantum-safe authentication mechanisms. Special attention is given to practical implementation considerations, including hybrid authentication models and the modernization of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems to ensure continued security in the post-quantum era.
