Quantum computers require atoms to exist in entangled states, where changing the state of one automatically causes the other to change state too. At present, such states can be achieved only at extremely low temperatures. Lurkin got all the nitrogen atoms in his dirty diamond to change position together at a constant frequency—meaning they were held in quantum entanglement—and he did it at room temperature.
The Future of Knowledge: Can It Exist Without a Human Mind?
Modern physics tells us that consciousness is what transforms waves of possibility into what we experience as physical reality. Perhaps it is the case that human consciousness plays a similar role in transforming information’s potential for being known into the objective phenomenon that we call knowledge. If so, in a world with machine-based volition, humanity would no longer be the primary consciousness precipitating knowledge out of experience.
If I Only Had a Brain: How AI ‘Thinks’ - The Daily Beast
Perhaps the major limitation of AI can be captured by a single letter: G. While we have AI, we don’t have AGI—artificial general intelligence (sometimes referred to as “strong” or “full” AI).
