Part 5/7:
Quantum Computing and Its Implications
Towards the end of his talk, Hassabis shifts focus to the interplay between classical computing and quantum computing. He emphasizes the limitations of traditional computing systems while discussing their potential when precomputing models of the environment or the problem at hand.
With advancements in quantum computing, showcased by Google's recent successes in reducing error rates in quantum systems, the debate concerning the capabilities of classical versus quantum systems intensifies. Hassabis suggests that complexities found in nature could be efficiently modeled using classical algorithms, provided they possess identifiable structures.
