IBM UK’s CEO on the next era of computing

Just when you think you’ve got your head around AI, a new type of technology comes racing around the corner - quantum computing

According to IBM’s UK and Ireland CEO, Nicola Hodson, quantum computing is “the next era of computing”. It allows the possibility of solving problems that either cannot be dealt with, or would take too long to deal with, through “conventional computing”.

While it is still in the experimental phase, a 2020 McKinsey report estimates that there will be around 5,000 operational quantum computers by 2030.

Therefore on this week's episode, Nicola and I discuss the five things leaders should focus on in order to thrive in this AI pre quantum age.
