AI and Quantum Computing: A Conversation with Brian Greene

Last year, I sat down with Brian Greene at World Science Festival to talk about AI and quantum computing. At the time, I said these technologies were moving faster than most of us expected. Today, that feels even more true and more urgent. A few themes stand out from that conversation: 🔹 Democracy is at risk. When AI-generated images and videos are indistinguishable from reality, misinformation can undermine and erode trust. We need authentication and strong safeguards before this becomes an existential problem. 🔹 Safety must come first. Current systems already show the capacity to enable cyber or biological attacks. Industry and government need to work together to ensure this technology stays in the right hands. 🔹 Education and healthcare can be transformed. AI can expand access to education and healthcare. Imagine an AI tutor or doctor in every pocket that is free, personalized, and available anywhere in the world, changing the trajectory of billions of lives. 🔹 Innovation will be democratized. We’re heading toward a world where anyone can say “build this for me” and AI will assemble the tools, code, or simulations. That changes not just what we build, but who gets to build. 🔹 Classical computing is nearing its limits. As we hit physical boundaries in chip design, advances in 3D packaging and breakthroughs in quantum computing will define the next era. 🔹 The opportunity is extraordinary. AI can double productivity, quantum can open new frontiers of discovery, and together they can expand human potential. But we can’t be passive observers. We need to shape these technologies responsibly or risk weakening the very systems that hold society together. #ArtificialIntelligence #QuantumComputing https://lnkd.in/eNGysij7

Thanks your definitions and of risks. ------------------------------- ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: AI (MEANLOGY extence differentials): 0 to 1 binary -> 2, finite, BASELINE (2) differentials. 0 to N character -> N+1, infinite, BASELINE (N+1) differentials. .LOGs contain infinite BASELINEs STORY differentials. One added mean to META AI ( 1 + MEANLOGY [0] extence differentials ), its turn BETA AI ( 1 + MEANLOGY (0) ). Now, solved new meta AI ( now, new MEANLOGY [1] extence differentials is ready ). So META and/or BETA AI ( MEANLOGY extence differentials ) definition right. Human to machine, machine to human, human to human, machine to machine. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5361498 -------------------------------

Important framing! Democracy and safety won’t be preserved by patching opaque systems after deployment. Alignment has to be designed in from the start. A collective intelligence architecture that is shared by human and AI agents offers a scalable way forward. And this is not just safer, it's more capable.

In other words, we must offset technological innovation, and its inherent disruption, with social innovation. https://roundmap.com/are-we-ai-powered-or-ai-povered/

Great reflection Eric. The convergence of AI and quantum is not just about speed or scale, it’s about redefining the boundaries of human potential. The challenge, as you note, is ensuring safeguards and trust evolve as fast as the technology itself. If managed responsibly, these advances won’t just transform industries, they’ll unlock entirely new frontiers in science, health, and education, expanding what humanity can achieve. Thrilled to see all that crystallized in the near future. Cheers!
