Allstate CEO Tom Wilson urges businesses to start investing in and learning about quantum computing, arguing that waiting will leave them unprepared as the technology matures. In comments reported by business and tech outlets, he frames quantum as an area where early engagement can help companies position themselves for potential future competitive advantage.
Both outlets describe Wilson’s message as a call for action tied to timing and preparedness. Quartz emphasizes his warning that companies that delay could repeat patterns seen with generative AI—where organizations that did not plan early later struggled to adapt. The Wall Street Journal similarly reports that Wilson encourages companies to “get on the train,” highlighting the need for learning and early investment rather than a wait-and-see approach.
