Everyone has access to these tools, to these models and can contribute to the research, avoids a sort of neural tyranny where very few people have control over AI for the world and use it to oppress those around them.

I would say intelligence and computation aren't quite the same thing. I think that the universe is very much doing a quantum computation. If you had access to all the degrees of freedom, and a very, very, very large quantum computer with many, many, many qubits, let's say a few qubits per Planck volume,

which is more or less the pixels we have, then you'd be able to simulate the whole universe on a sufficiently large quantum computer, assuming you're looking at a finite volume, of course, of the universe. I think that, at least to me, intelligence is the... I go back to cybernetics, the ability to perceive, predict, and control our world. But really, it's

Nowadays, it seems like a lot of intelligence we use is more about compression. It's about operationalizing information theory. In information theory, you have the notion of entropy of a distribution or a system. And entropy tells you that you need this many bits to encode this distribution or this subsystem if you had the most optimal code.

And AI, at least the way we do it today for LLMs and for quantum, is very much trying to minimize relative entropy between are models of the world and the world, distributions from the world. And so, we're learning, we're searching over the space of computations to process the world to find that compressed representation that has distilled all the variance and noise and entropy, right? And

Originally, I came to quantum machine learning from the study of black holes because the entropy of black holes is very interesting. In a sense, they're physically the most dense objects in the universe. You can't pack more information spatially, any more densely than a black hole. And so I was wondering, how do black holes actually encode information? What is their compression code?

And so that got me into the space of algorithms to search over space of quantum codes. And it got me actually into also how do you acquire quantum information from the world, right? So something I've worked on, this is public now, is quantum analog digital conversion.
