Is Microsoft's Announcement A Quantum Breakthrough? | The Brainstorm EP 80
About this episode
Have we witnessed a quantum breakthrough? Sam Korus and Nicholas Grous are joined by ARK Chief Futurist, Brett Winton, to discuss the current state and future of quantum computing and AI, particularly focusing on Microsoft's advancements in quantum technology and the capabilities of Grok 3.
If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.
