Gerald Mullally raises a big question: is it healthy for the UK to rely on foreign tech companies for critical innovation? Tech sovereignty isn’t just about pride, it’s about shaping the future of innovation, security, and economic impact. #QuantumComputing #AI #TechSovereignty #DeepTech

Quantum computing isn’t just a scientific curiosity, it’s critical for the economy and national security. Gerald Mullally explains that, over the medium term, quantum could deliver 7% productivity improvements — that’s an economic impact of $212 billion. #QuantumComputing #TechInnovation #Economy

AI has already consumed most of the world’s available data. The challenge now? Training models on life-like, molecular, or biological data, the stuff that classical computers can’t simulate efficiently. #QuantumComputing #AI #SyntheticData #TechNews #DeepTech

Classical compute is hitting a ceiling, and energy is a huge part of the problem. We’re even talking nuclear power for data centers just to keep up, but quantum computers break that link. #QuantumComputing #TechInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #AgentsOfTech #DeepTech @oqc-tech.bsky.social

Gerald, from @oqc-tech.bsky.social, explains one of quantum computing’s most mind-blowing advantages: breaking the link between energy and compute. It’s not magic, it’s architecture, physics, and a lot of brilliant engineering. #QuantumComputing #TechInnovation #DeepTech #EnergyEfficiency

Agents of Tech @agentsoftech.bsky.social · 16/12/2025
Gerald drops one of the wildest comparisons in this episode. Supercomputers pull 10–40 megawatts of power. A quantum computer? 35 kilowatts. That’s the difference between powering 50,000 homes a year… and 9 kettles. #QuantumComputing #TechInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #artificialintelligence

@oqc-tech.bsky.social CEO Gerald Mullally breaks down why the last 12–18 months have been such a turning point for quantum and interest is exploding. Catch more in the full episode. #QuantumComputing #QuantumAI #TechInnovation

Everyone’s asking the same question: AI or Quantum? But as Laila says, it’s not an either/or. Investors are searching for the “next AI” while trying to figure out the ceiling of the current one, and quantum keeps entering the conversation. #AI #QuantumComputing #TechTrends

EIT isn’t just about Oxford, it’s building a global science ecosystem. From top labs and world-class talent to collaborations with leading universities worldwide, the institute is creating the network needed to tackle humanity’s toughest problems.

Professor Santa Ono says the real story behind AI isn’t replacement, it’s acceleration. AI can now solve problems that once took decades. And the same leap is coming for drug discovery. AI isn’t taking scientists’ jobs, it’s collapsing timelines. #ai #academicsky #researchsky #oxforduniversity

Agents of Tech @agentsoftech.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
AI is already geopolitical. The US and China have scale. The UK’s real edge is talent coming out of places like Oxford and Cambridge. On the most recent episode of AOT, Professor Santa Ono says the UK has quietly engineered one of the most powerful science ecosystems anywhere. #ai #podcastclip

Larry Ellison’s scholarships are already bringing top talent to Oxford. In our new AOT episode, we explore his $2.5B bet on EIT, how AI and health data could reshape medicine, and whether Oxford can become Europe’s Silicon Valley. What do you think? #academicsky #larryellison #ai #podcast

What is Larry Ellison building in Oxford? Professor Santa Ono says the mission is nothing less than solving the world’s toughest problems by bringing global talent together with AI, machine learning, and robotics. Is this the future of science? @eitoxford.bsky.social youtu.be/f_QcxFMNGv4?...

Extreme positions on AI miss the point. @hlntnr.bsky.social calls out the issues with ‘elite intelligentsia’ ridiculing the concerns of regular folks’ about building smarter than human computers

Everyone is trying to automate AI Machine Learning Engineering work – and if this is achieved, it’s over for China. We wouldn’t bet on U.S. big tech failing. #researchsky #ai #artificialintelligence #podcast

Are the timelines to AGI ridiculous? And is AI 2027 a load of rubbish? @hlntnr.bsky.social gives her opinion #academisky #podcast #artificialintelligence #AGI

China's AI+ strategy is focused on application in specific industries, rather than pouring billions of dollars in the hope we achieve superintelligence. Is the U.S. strategy actually a recipe for disaster if the bubble pops? #ai #china #airace

@hlntnr.bsky.social explains the Chinese AI strategy. They’re actually focused on harnessing AI to drive economic activity, rather than driving a huge investment bubble.

People don’t appreciate that AI adoption is a real competition too – it’s not all about who reaches AGI first. The most advanced model doesn’t mean America will necessarily win. @hlntnr.bsky.social makes a great point – China is focused on adoption – not achieving AGI.

Agents of Tech @agentsoftech.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
@hlntnr.bsky.social is right – it has been exaggerated how much of a let-down GPT-5 was. If you have been in the field for 10 years you know that everything has pretty much been an incremental improvement #academsky #gpt5

Agents of Tech @agentsoftech.bsky.social · 15/10/2025
Does China care about the risks of AI? Why does the U.S. gov comparatively freakout so much more about the risks of AI - is it just an excuse to regulate and restrict tech companies? @hlntnr.bsky.social

Is AI really on an exponential curve, or is that hype? @garymarcus.bsky.social argues GPT-5 proves the curve has flattened. Scaling isn’t delivering exponential gains anymore and the field is shifting to smaller or hybrid models. Are we past exponential AI, or just in a slowdown? #academisky #ai

Are you an AI "skeptic"? On the latest episode of Agents of Tech @garymarcus.bsky.social argues he isn’t against AI at all, but as a scientist, he pushes back on hype and false claims. His critique isn’t anti-AI, it’s pro-truth. #AI #GaryMarcus #GPT5 #Podcast

Has the scaling paradigm finally hit a wall? Gary Marcus says GPT-5 wasn’t the leap everyone expected. Chips, energy, data… all are hitting limits. Is AI running out of road or just pausing until the next breakthrough? #AI #OpenAI #GPT5 #ArtificialIntelligence #GaryMarcus #TechDebate

Have we made AI sound scarier than it really is? Professor Charlotte Deane breaks it down: AI is just a mathematical tool. The real challenge (and opportunity) is in how we test it, train it, and trust ourselves to question the results #ai #artificialintelligence #research #podcast

#ai models can be powerful, but they also fail, sometimes in spectacular ways. For Professor Charlotte Deane, those failures aren’t just mistakes, they’re signals that reveal what data is missing and how to make models stronger. #podcast #aimodels #artificalintelligence

Should AI be allowed as an author of scientific papers? Right now, top journals won’t accept AI as a co-author. At ISMB/ECCB we found out how Stanford Prof. James Zou is flipping the script: could this open the door to more transparency and innovation? @iscb.bsky.social #academicsky #medsky #ai
