Book: Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything Author: Michio Kaku ISBN: 978-0385548366
Chapter 12 is where Kaku connects two big threads from the rest of the book: artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The most interesting part is not the AI history lesson though. It is how both technologies come together to tackle protein folding and brain diseases that we still cannot cure.
AI: From Hype to AI Winter and Back
Kaku starts with the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, where scientists predicted they could crack artificial intelligence in one summer. Many summers later, we are still working on it.
