A legislative framework for
Artificial Intelligence

Creating an ecosystem of trust
“
We want a set of rules that puts
people at the centre. Algorithms
must not be a black box and there
must be clear rules if something
goes wrong.
President von der Leyen
State of the Union address, 16/9/2020
Risks for safety and fundamental rights need to be addressed.

A risk-based and proportionate approach to
regulation
Creating an innovation-friendly legal framework by focusing on
high-risk uses of AI.
A risk-based and proportionate
regulatory approach could entail:
• Identification of AI systems posing a
particularly high risk to the safety and
fundamental rights of citizens
• Mandatory requirements and
ex-ante conformity assessment
for high-risk AI systems
• Specific rules for remote biometric
identification
✔ Training data
✔ Data and record keeping
✔ Information to be provided
✔ Robustness and accuracy
✔ Human oversight
The requirements may be further
specified through standards.
Possible requirements for
high-risk AI systems

Ensuring safety and fundamental rights
compliance through conformity assessments
Public Consultation
on the AI White Paper
49%
…of respondents explicitly
advocated mandatory
third-party conformity
assessments or
self-assessments for high-risk
AI.
Ex ante conformity assessments are necessary to
verify compliance with the high-risk requirements.
They could entail procedures for testing and inspection,
including checks of testing and training data.
Should be part of existing
conformity assessment
mechanisms where
available.
Where not available, new
mechanisms need to be
established (drawing on
SSOs and standards)

Reflections On The Field of
Medicine
“Medicine is what has been tested and works,
everything else is just tea.”
-- credit to a forgotten comedian

• Protein design pioneer Menten AI has developed the first process using hybrid quantum
programs to determine protein structure for de novo protein design with very encouraging
results often outperforming classical solvers.
• Menten AI’s unique protein designs have been computationally validated, chemically
synthesized, and are being advanced to live-virus testing against COVID-19.
Drug Discovery

Routing & Mobility
• DENSO used the Advantage system in the Leap quantum cloud service for a
vehicle routing problem, to find the best routing scheme for multiple vehicles
that achieves the lowest cost under various circumstances.
• With Advantage and the hybrid solver service, they could optimize 20 delivery
vehicles, delivering to 160 customers, in 29 time slots. This real-world sized
problem that used 44,520 logical qubits.

OLED Materials
• OTI develops new materials for Organic LEDs used in consumer products
• Developed hybrid quantum-classical workflows for their complex electronic
structure calculations yielding precise results
• Able to realize an industrial benefit by reducing the time solution in their use of
these hybrid workflows

Four essential technologies will pave the road to the quantum internet.
1. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) will provide security on a fiber optic
infrastructure.
2. Entangled Photon Source (solid state for miniaturization and economy) will
enable quantum computer scaling on the fiber infrastructure of the quantum
internet.
3. Quantum Repeater with Memory will provide store and retrieval functionality
solving the current distance limitations without exposing clear text as in today’s
Trusted Nodes.
4. Key Management Networking Software will provide point to-multipoint mesh
networking capability with redundancy and survivability.

In 5-10 years, quantum computers will
break all existing cryptography

Anyone that wants to make sure that their data is

Quantum Breaks the Math Cybersecurity Relies on
▪ Quantum computers will be able to solve the
hard math problems used in current public
key cryptography, which we rely on to secure
everything that connects and transacts today
▪ This is an unprecedented threat the security
industry has never faced before, and it’s what
drives the ISARA team everyday to create
mitigation solutions

5
Quantum Eﬀect on Trust Infrastructure
Quantum Threat Facts:
• 7 to 15 years: quantum scientists agree that
Shor’s algorithm running on a large-scale
quantum computer will break public key
cryptography
• Impacts: Perfect undetectable identity forgeries.
Every key agreement rendered transparent
• Introduces widespread vulnerabilities throughout
the Internet
• NIST is evaluating quantum-safe algorithm
candidates and will publish standards between
2022 and 2024

Quantum and Health Care
▪ The Good
– Drug discovery
– Materials science
– Big Data Analytics of Genetic Information
▪ The Bad
– Software updates for medical devices
– Long term confidentiality of patient records
– Access to hospital systems

THE MIGRATION CHALLENGE
KEY ESTABLISHMENT vs AUTHENTICATION
Key establishment can be easily upgraded because the
client and server negotiate which algorithm to use.
1) Use quantum-safe key transport or key agreement
algorithms
2) Use hybrid keys, a mix of both classic and
quantum-safe algorithms
The complexity and interconnectivity of public
key infrastructure demands action today in order
to be ready for the quantum age, and difficult to
do while maintaining backward compatibility.

14
There’s more than
4.5 million active users
in the DoD identity
management system.
Creating a quantum-safe duplicate
infrastructure is time-consuming
and cost prohibitive.
HIGH RISK: PKIs not Crypto-Agile

15
TWO PATHS TO
QUANTUM-SAFE SECURITY
Quantum Key
Distribution
Quantum-Safe
Cryptography

16
Quantum Key Distribution
(QKD)
QKD uses individual photons for the
exchange of cryptographic key data
between two users
Each photon = a single bit of data
QKD has the potential to be foolproof.
If an eavesdropper intercepts the
photon to determine its polarization,
the entire process is corrupted
China has invested heavily ($25B)
in quantum with focus on QKD

Security and risk management leaders responsible
for application and data security must prepare for
the migration to postquantum algorithms by
embracing the tenants of crypto-agility, knowing what
the organization’s cryptographic dependencies are
and how to replace them over time.

In our customers’ words:
▪ Demonstrating to the C-Suite the scale of the cryptographic
migration challenge is critical but has been virtually impossible
▪ Cryptographic compliance standards exist everywhere, and yet
repeatable compliance tracking is very expensive
▪ Past audits were insufficient to serve as a basis for significant
allocation of resources to accomplish migration
▪ Cryptographic migrations are typically done manually, are very
error prone and take significantly longer than planned
▪ No automated tools exist to flag new cryptographic vulnerabilities
when new application(s)/service(s) are deployed

Summary
• DoD has a long history of successful
engagement with new computing
technologies
• Quantum computers provide an
opportunity to add a new class of
machine to an already diverse mix
of high performance machines
• Early and committed engagement
by basic research offices within DoD
have shaped our current landscape
• Future success requires long‐term
thinking about some very hard
problems
