Quantum Reckoning: AI Governance and Cybersecurity in the Post-Classical Age

Quantum Reckoning: AI Governance and Cybersecurity in the Post-Classical Age confronts the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence-two revolutions that together threaten to dismantle the cryptographic foundations of the digital world. The book argues that quantum computers will render current public-key cryptography obsolete, exposing financial systems, digital identities, and critical infrastructure to catastrophic attack. Simultaneously, ungoverned AI systems create risks of algorithmic bias, opacity, and systemic instability. This convergence creates a governance crisis demanding institutional transformation, strategic foresight, and international cooperation. The book provides practical frameworks for policymakers and organizational leaders, offering crypto-agile architecture principles, AI governance frameworks, and migration planning templates. It argues that those who act now will shape the post-classical world; those who delay will be shaped by it. The window for proactive action is closing. The time to act is now.
