About the episode

It's Book Club time! Mark and Jeremy tackle quantum computing and AI. Reading between the lines of ⁠Quantum Supremacy⁠, by Michio Kaku, they ask how these two forces will shape everything from medicine to climate science.

⁠Quantum⁠ can handle vast, complex data in a way that makes traditional computers look like monkeys banging typewriters hoping to recreate the works of Shakespeare. Throw AI in the mix, that power becomes adaptive, able to “learn” in ways that would melt a classical computers brain. If it had one.

Mark argues that “quantum is the muscle that makes AI much more useful,” while Jeremy describes how it activates the “adjacent possible,” pushing AI into spaces no algorithm has gone before.

They cast opinions around like confetti at a wedding. Protein folding to AI-driven weather models, our approach to disease, aging, and climate prediction are all up for debate. But with all that power, ethical questions loom: can we control it, or will it control us?

Please enjoy the book club.
