description The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries and driving global innovation. However, the increasing complexity of AI models demands substantial data and computational resources, leading to significant energy consumption and environmental impact. This article explores the integration of quantum computing and end-to-end automation strategies in cloud-edge architectures. It proposes a hybrid quantum-classical AI framework that enhances training efficiency and reduces data and processing intensity by minimizing energy consumption. The framework leverages automated model orchestration, adaptive resource allocation, and intelligent data processing at the edge to improve system efficiency. In addition, it addresses ethical considerations, including privacy, fairness, and trustworthiness, to ensure alignment with human values. This approach significantly improves AI performance while fostering a sustainable and ethical AI ecosystem.
