This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host.

This is the James Altiger show.

Describe the relationship between quantum computing and AI because I think quantum computing

the concept nobody understands including me.

Well, what quantum computing basically changes the roots of computing as we know it so that

it's not based on a physical bit that's either one or zero, but that it can be essentially

dynamic so that it uses the actual physical properties of the materials that's used to

build a quantum computing that allows for uncertainty and also rapidly searching the

space of uncertainty.

So as applied to AI rather than searching a arbitrary tree possible acts, let's say you're

building a game player on the possible actions, action a or versus b, a quantum computer

can hold all the options as possible and simultaneously pursue them and essentially turn what's

called an MP complete problems into polynomial time so that rapid optimization becomes possible

and that could change the way that future AI algorithms are built.

Yeah, so the problem with a game playing computer is that it searches this huge tree of trillions

of nodes, but a quantum computer could like you say solid MP complete problem could solve

a one with a thousand digits after it, number of nodes rather than building a tree could

just look at all of this instantly and that's going to change the nature of cryptography,

AI, plus perhaps our own ability to decide what AI is good for us or not.

Maybe the AI starts making decisions about what's good for us, like in the case of education

could say no, I'm not teaching this kid anymore.

Too much.
