It's an unhappy answer from a journalist to another valued colleague, but it really does depend on how long things last in the Strait of Hormuz.

And that's beyond even the power of the Bank of England governor or of Newscast.

Cisco is one of the world's leading technology companies behind some of the critical IT infrastructure enabling the day-to-day use of AI.

It was hit when the original dot-com bubble burst in 2000, but survived and thrived after losing 80% of its value.

Now its boss, Chuck Robbins, confidant of President Trump, says while AI technology is unstoppable, there may be some financial turbulence ahead.

Mr. Robbins said some jobs were already being eliminated by AI, particularly in areas like customer services, where he said companies would need fewer people.

But he urged people not to be afraid of the technology and embrace it in their lives.

Faisal Islam reporting.

We've just arrived in Santa Barbara, a couple of hours away from Los Angeles, and we're about to visit one of the most important technological developments in the world right now, which is the quantum lab of Google.

So we're going to go in and actually have a look at one of the world's first functioning, most advanced quantum computers.

Thanks for showing us around this facility.

I assume it's restricted.

Thanks for letting us in, actually.

Please come in.

Okay, so we're coming into a restricted area now, and we're starting to see the real deal, the actual conversion of this high theoretical physics into an actual computer.

The exponential power of quantum is what you're trying to harness with this chip we're holding here.

So there's a special feature of this process, which it happens at extremely low temperatures.

And Julian wants to show us just how low that temperature is with some liquid nitrogen.

And so what's the relevance of the cold to the chick?

Take us 20 years into the future.
