Jeremy O’Brien, the co-founder and CEO of PsiQuantum discusses quantum computing with Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, CEO of the MIT Tech Review and Peter Barrett, founder and general partner at Playground Global, at the MIT Tech Review Future Compute Conference.
Quantum computers are advancing at a breathtaking pace, but this progress may soon stall due to out of this world force — literally.
Cosmic rays streaming down to Earth could interfere with the integrity of the information in these quantum computers.
An MIT study has measured how much cosmic rays could interfere with quantum computers Quantum computers are advancing at an exciting pace, but unfortunately this progress may soon stall. Cosmic rays streaming down to Earth could interfere with the integrity of the information in these quantum computers, and now […]

Given its prominence to neural networks and quantum computing, now is a good time to learn Linear Algebra.
MIT A 2020 Vision of Linear Algebra, Spring 2020Instructor: Gilbert StrangView the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/2020-visionYouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61iQEFiWLE21EJCxwmWvvek
Professor Strang describes independent vectors and the column space of a matrix as a good starting point for learning linear algebra. His outline develops the five shorthand descriptions of key chapters of linear algebra.
In this DNA factory, organism engineers are using robots and automation to build completely new forms of life.
Seeker explores this brave new frontier of science.
Lex Fridman interviews Kate Darling in this episode of the AI Show.
Kate Darling is a researcher at MIT, interested in social robotics, robot ethics, and generally how technology intersects with society. She explores the emotional connection between human beings and life-like machines, which for me, is one of the most exciting topics in all of artificial intelligence. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast.

Lex Fridman interviews Eric Weinstein in the latest episode of his podcast.
Eric Weinstein is a mathematician with a bold and piercing intelligence, unafraid to explore the biggest questions in the universe and shine a light on the darkest corners of our society. He is the host of The Portal podcast, a part of which, he recently released his 2013 Oxford lecture on his theory of Geometric Unity that is at the center of his lifelong efforts in arriving at a theory of everything that unifies the fundamental laws of physics. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast.

Lecture Outline
I always knew that reinforcement learning would teach us more about ourselves than any other kind of AI approach. This feeling was backed up in a paper published recently in Nature.
DeepMind, Alphabet’s AI subsidiary, has once again used lessons from reinforcement learning to propose a new theory about the reward mechanisms within our brains.
The hypothesis, supported by initial experimental findings, could not only improve our understanding of mental health and motivation. It could also validate the current direction of AI research toward building more human-like general intelligence.
It turns out the brain’s reward system works in much the same way—a discovery made in the 1990s, inspired by reinforcement-learning algorithms. When a human or animal is about to perform an action, its dopamine neurons make a prediction about the expected reward.
