Wouldn't using quantum computing in the AI field more closely simulate actual physical brains (strong-AI) then modern processors that only have 2 values? I don't think this would cut down on the number of processors/nodes needed, but would most likely make them more efficient in modeling signal flows and values then current modern processors.
Instead of using a quantum processor to totally replace current processors; wouldn't a logical first step be to use current processor technologies with a quantum co-processor to handle specific quantum tasks? Then who cares that you only have (2, 4, 8, 16, whatever) qubits to play with, you can setup the problem or task using current technology, then make specific requests when you actually have a problem where using a quantum processor would beneficial.
