Do we care what happens in 5, 10, 15 years?
According to politicians and journalists: no, I don't care.
Therefore, no future issues arise in public debate.
And that's besides bad, due to the fact that artificial intelligence and in the future quantum computers will change the world, and we, if we don't keep up with the changes, will be mediocre to pat, or worse, to be subject to the Chinese empire.
The combination of AI, analyzing data, and quantum computers, delivering data millions of times faster than the best average computers, will give technological winners an unrecoverable advantage. "Winner takes it all". That is why the US and China spend 20-25 billion Eur a year on quantum computing technologies. Poland plans to allocate a billion Euros, but for 10 years.
Europe, as 1 organism, could inactive be competitive. She could if politicians and journalists started worrying about not what was, but what would be.
