@HPCpodcast-108: Olivier Ezratty on State of Quantum Computing – In Depth
Q: Do you see Europe having a meaningful path forward in quantum technology?
Yes, Europe can build leadership by leveraging unique ecosystems, collaboration across countries, and targeted investments that differentiate technologically and scientifically, rather than trying to imitate the US or China.
@HPCpodcast-107: Paul Bloch of DDN on AI Storage – Industry View
Q: What are the key problems that customers face when transitioning from pilot AI projects to operational?
Key problems include building the data center, ensuring clean power generation, and dealing with GPU and network issues, which often lead to inefficiencies.
@HPCpodcast-103: Stanford AI Index 2025 w Nestor Maslej
Q: What are the implications of AI technology getting better but remaining misunderstood or misused?
We need to critically evaluate how AI tools are used positively and negatively to develop a sensible approach to their integration in society.
@HPCpodcast-103: Stanford AI Index 2025 w Nestor Maslej
Q: How does the AI Index report evaluate the use and validity of benchmarks?
The report acknowledges criticisms about benchmarks being potentially contaminated or gamed and emphasizes the need to understand AI through a comprehensive lens.
@HPCpodcast-103: Stanford AI Index 2025 w Nestor Maslej
Q: What are the most impactful findings that the AI index report offers this year?
The technology is getting better, but there is still uncertainty about its ability to drive productivity impacts effectively, and businesses are starting to explore AI usage but have not fully leveraged its capabilities yet.
