Super Computing
Google claims to have
reached quantum supremacy
with an array of 54
q[u]bits out of which 53
were functional, which
were used to perform a
series of operations in
200 seconds that would
take a supercomputer about
10,000 years to complete

AI/ML Sucks!
Face ID
NOT WORKING with
masks!
● Machine Learning is on the verge
becoming an irreplaceable part of
our daily life and activities!
● Machine Learning is at the stage
where you can’t find difference
between “real” and “generated”
content(text, image, audio,
video)
● The need for Machine Learning
expertise will vanish gradually
17
Machine Learning
When something is new, We call it AI
● Optical Character Recognition
● Searching online
● News feeds
● Maps
● Dating
● Friends feed
● Trending topics
18
What we have right now in AI?
● Personal Assistants - Alexa, Siri, Google home
● Doctors - IBM Watson
● Facial recognition - Amazon, Microsoft, Google
● Autonomous driving - Tesla
● Investor - Numerai
● Lawyer - ROSS
