This white paper discusses and explores the various points of intersectionbetween quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). It describes howquantum computing could support the development of innovative AI solutions. Italso examines use cases of classical AI that can empower research anddevelopment in quantum technologies, with a focus on quantum computing andquantum sensing. The purpose of this white paper is to provide a long-termresearch agenda aimed at addressing foundational questions about how AI andquantum computing interact and benefit one another. It concludes with a set ofrecommendations and challenges, including how to orchestrate the proposedtheoretical work, align quantum AI developments with quantum hardware roadmaps,estimate both classical and quantum resources - especially with the goal ofmitigating and optimizing energy consumption - advance this emerging hybridsoftware engineering discipline, and enhance European industrialcompetitiveness while considering societal implications.
