Artificial Intelligence, Quantum and Beyond

Artificial Intelligence, Quantum and Beyond explores how technologies, principally computing, advance and how these generate prosperity.Improvements in computing have been a powerful driver of prosperity, but we should not take it for granted that this will continue. Many drivers of improvements in computing have slowed or stopped, while other new drivers have emerged. Which will matter most, and how, is not well understood. As a research group of computer scientists, engineers, and economists we use an interdisciplinary lens to understand progress in computing and identify the most important trends, impacts, and opportunities. By exploring key computing technologies –  Artificial Intelligence, specialized chips, quantum computers, and algorithms – we generate insights that can help leaders to use these technologies to sustain and promote greater prosperity. Neil Thompson leads this Research Group.
