Factoring. Reversing ECC operations. Decrypting all the data thought to be safely stored at rest in any non quantum resistant storage.

I do think ai algorithms could be built that quantum gates could be fast at, but I don’t have any ideas off the top of my head this morning. If you think of AI training as searching the space of computational complexity and quantum algorithms as accessing a superposition of search states I would guess there’s an intersection. Google thinks so too - the lab is called quantum ai.
