It could happen this year, I don’t doubt the possibility.

I’m not an expert and don’t really understand that much about how AI works, but I keep thinking quantum computing + AI will be a game changer. Wouldn’t a quantum computer be able to better simulate a human brain than a regular computer?

Even without quantum, all this AI buzz and traction will just have more people/companies/resources pouring into AI research. Palmer thinks a single person could write the code for AGI.

Not to mention other countries working on their own AIs as well and most of the research going out on the web.

What is quantum computing? Can you explain to me how it will help AI?

Quantum computing is a field of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to build computer systems that can perform certain types of computation much faster than classical computers. In a classical computer, information is processed using bits, which can represent either a 0 or a 1. In a quantum computer, information is processed using quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously, a property known as superposition. Additionally, qubits can also become entangled, meaning that the state of one qubit can affect the state of another, even when they are separated by large distances.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize AI by providing new algorithms and hardware that can solve problems that are intractable for classical computers. One of the most exciting applications of quantum computing for AI is in deep learning, where quantum algorithms can be used to train large neural networks much faster than classical algorithms. Additionally, quantum computers have the potential to accelerate other important AI tasks, such as reinforcement learning and unsupervised learning, by providing new algorithms and hardware that can process large amounts of data more efficiently.

However, it's important to note that quantum computing is still in its early stages and that many technical challenges still need to be overcome before it becomes a mainstream technology. Additionally, the development of quantum algorithms that can be used to solve real-world problems is still in its early stages, so it will be some time before we see the full potential of quantum computing for AI.

Maybe, maybe not. Currently quantum computers are only used in a few particular ways that aren't ideal for a lot of things. That's why you shouldn't expect a quantum PC anytime soon, or ever. Also, there's no reason to simulate the brain to get to AGI, because AGI will be much different than a human brain.
