# kaal:claim:4900880-007

**Claim.** Disparities in access to quantum computing resources and expertise are likely to widen existing inequalities both between nations and within societies, so the distributional effect of quantum technology is a predictable consequence of unequal access rather than an incidental risk.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Source quote.**

> The disparities in access to quantum computing resources and expertise could exacerbate existing inequalities between nations and within societies.
