Statement at the 10th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technologie and Innovation[Déclaration au 10ème Forum multipartite sur la Science, la Technologie et l’Innovation]

Quantum technology is poised to revolutionize various sectors, including drug innovation. Advances in this field are already making significant contributions to society. For example, neuro-technologies coupled with quantum technologies are expected to yield results in understanding human consciousness and acting upon it. We are continuing to celebrate the International Year of Quantum Technologies, a year to reflect on the profound implications of quantum science. Quantum sciences operate in different physical relativities and require an understanding of technologies, uses, human behavior and also ethics, from an alternative point of view, with a different perspective from that offered by classical physics. Many initiatives have seen the light of day during these years. The Pact for the Future and its annex, the Global Digital Compact, were conceived at a time applications of AI and other emergent technologies were coming out, but without nevertheless providing a detailed definition of these technologies, such as quantum technologies, for example. The university researchers at IAUPL are convinced that the conception of an additional document to the Pact for the Future Global Digital Compact would be essential in the next few years to come in order to give direction to quantum technologies. However, it is not a question of multiplying complementary instruments, but rather of creating an original document, in the spirit of technological and societal convergence, which could be called the "Convergent Pact for Quantum Technologies of the Future", where each component and each person will find their place for a sustainable and responsible development of Humanity.
