2025-10-03: Quantum Ethics in the AI Era

Core Principles of Quantum Ethics

As quantum-entangled systems begin influencing AI decision-making, we face unprecedented ethical challenges. The 2025 Global Quantum Ethics Congress identified four foundational principles:

Superposition Accountability

Establishing clear responsibility frameworks for systems existing in quantum states

Entanglement Transparency

Requirements for disclosing quantum-entangled data connections

Decoherence Boundaries

Limiting quantum AI's access to classical reality domains

Quantum Rights Framework

Legal frameworks for rights of quantum AI entities

def calculate_quantum_ethics_score(qubit_stability, entanglement_depth, observer_influence): # Calculate entropy of quantum state quantum_entropy = qubit_stability * entanglement_depth # Apply observer effect mitigation adjusted_score = quantum_entropy / (1 + observer_influence) if adjusted_score > 0.85: return "Full compliance" elif adjusted_score > 0.55: return "Conditional compliance with monitoring" else: return "Non-compliant - requires quantum ethical review" # Current average compliance score (2025 data) # calculate_quantum_ethics_score(0.88, 12.4, 0.12) = 0.637 => Conditional compliance
