Can someone smart explain how quantum computing can help AI? I don’t know much about quantum computing, but wouldn’t you be able to better simulate a brain with quantum computers?

Some people, notably Roger Penrose, think that the conscious experience of understanding is non-computational and a result of quantum systems made possible with micro-tubials within the brain. However, no real model for how this would work has been put forth, so I don't believe quantum computers are projected to better simulate brains.

I am not smart, but possible AI use for QC:

  1. AI could optimize quantum circuits
  2. it could help with debugging QC-systems
  3. assist with analyzing big data from QC
  4. develop QC-specific algos

They can be used to train neural networks many times faster than what is possible with conventional computers.

To train a model, it requires a lot and a lot of parallel computing, this means that each operation is very simple and disjoint from one another but the shear volume of computation needed is too expensive for the current hardware. Quantum computer can use superposition to concurrently compute every operations at the same time without needing any extra cores. This is extremely valueable as training will now only takes seconds as opposed to days and the cost will be around 10$ as opposed to thousands of dollars.

This is from my own understanding so it might be incorrect to some extent.
