Welcome to Anu's Substack

Hello! Thanks for visiting my Substack profile!

I strongly believe we're on the edge of a huge tech change that will transform how we innovate, study, and live daily. The advent of powerful emerging technologies like Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can dramatically accelerate our capabilities to solve complex problems around climate change, education, health and science, but can also be a threat to humanity if mismanaged.

“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war” - Sam Altman, Open AI CEO

I'm excited to embark on this journey to explore, elucidate, and educate the world about these transformative technologies, their potential benefits, and the critical challenges they pose. More importantly, I aim to drive a global dialogue on how we can harness their power responsibly to create a net positive impact on our society and environment.

I believe democratization of knowledge is key to widespread adoption. Through my Substack posts, I am committed to peeling back the layers of complexity surrounding these technologies, and to unpacking their potential applications and implications in a manner that's digestible and engaging for everyone, whether you're a tech enthusiast, an industry professional, a policy-maker, an academic, or a curious individual. I will dive into different facets of Quantum Computing, AI and other modern technologies: from the fundamental principles that underpin these technologies to the latest breakthroughs and their real-world applications; from ethical and policy considerations to industry trends and predictions.

Together, we will learn, question, debate, and perhaps most importantly, understand how we can shape these technologies to build a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous world.

In the vast expanse of the tech universe, it's easy to feel insignificant or overwhelmed. However, remember that every technological advance, every piece of legislation, and every societal shift starts with awareness and education. It starts with us.

Thank you for joining me on this quest to understand, educate, and utilize technology for the greater good of humanity. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
