Abstract

The rapid evolution of computing paradigms is driving the need for next-generation operating systems that seamlessly integrate artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and edge processing. Traditional operating systems, while efficient for classical computation, lack the necessary capabilities to handle real-time AI-driven decision-making, quantum processing, and decentralized edge networks. This study explores how future operating systems will incorporate AI-driven autonomy to enhance resource management, quantum integration to leverage superior computational power, and edge computing to ensure low-latency processing. Through a detailed analysis of emerging methodologies, experimental results, and real-world case studies, this study provides insights into the technical advancements, challenges, and ethical considerations of futuristic operating systems.
