EP 381: AI’s Energy Crisis - Can Quantum Save the Day?

AI is sucking up energy at an alarming rate. Gartner predicts that AI could consume up to 3.5% of global electricity by 2030. But what if quantum computing could change that? Peter Chapman of IonQ, will break down how quantum tech could reduce the power needed to fuel AI’s explosive growth and why it’s the next big thing in computing.
