A new AI, science & technology podcast with hosts Stephen Horn, Laila Rizvi & Autria Godfrey. Join us as we explore the cutting-edge technologies shaping our world today!
Gerald Mullally raises a big question: is it healthy for the UK to rely on foreign tech companies for critical innovation?
Tech sovereignty isn’t just about pride, it’s about shaping the future of innovation, security, and economic impact.

Quantum computing isn’t just a scientific curiosity, it’s critical for the economy and national security.
Gerald Mullally explains that, over the medium term, quantum could deliver 7% productivity improvements — that’s an economic impact of $212 billion.

AI has already consumed most of the world’s available data. The challenge now? Training models on life-like, molecular, or biological data, the stuff that classical computers can’t simulate efficiently.

Classical compute is hitting a ceiling, and energy is a huge part of the problem. We’re even talking nuclear power for data centers just to keep up, but quantum computers break that link. #QuantumComputing #TechInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #AgentsOfTech #DeepTech @oqc-tech.bsky.social

Gerald, from @oqc-tech.bsky.social, explains one of quantum computing’s most mind-blowing advantages: breaking the link between energy and compute. It’s not magic, it’s architecture, physics, and a lot of brilliant engineering.

Gerald drops one of the wildest comparisons in this episode.
Supercomputers pull 10–40 megawatts of power. A quantum computer? 35 kilowatts. That’s the difference between powering 50,000 homes a year… and 9 kettles.

@oqc-tech.bsky.social CEO Gerald Mullally breaks down why the last 12–18 months have been such a turning point for quantum and interest is exploding.

Everyone’s asking the same question: AI or Quantum?
But as Laila says, it’s not an either/or. Investors are searching for the “next AI” while trying to figure out the ceiling of the current one, and quantum keeps entering the conversation. #AI #QuantumComputing #TechTrends

EIT isn’t just about Oxford, it’s building a global science ecosystem. From top labs and world-class talent to collaborations with leading universities worldwide, the institute is creating the network needed to tackle humanity’s toughest problems.

Professor Santa Ono says the real story behind AI isn’t replacement, it’s acceleration. AI can now solve problems that once took decades. And the same leap is coming for drug discovery. AI isn’t taking scientists’ jobs, it’s collapsing timelines. #ai #academicsky #researchsky #oxforduniversity

AI is already geopolitical. The US and China have scale. The UK’s real edge is talent coming out of places like Oxford and Cambridge. On the most recent episode of AOT, Professor Santa Ono says the UK has quietly engineered one of the most powerful science ecosystems anywhere. #ai #podcastclip

Larry Ellison’s scholarships are already bringing top talent to Oxford. In our new AOT episode, we explore his $2.5B bet on EIT, how AI and health data could reshape medicine, and whether Oxford can become Europe’s Silicon Valley. What do you think? #academicsky #larryellison #ai #podcast
November 27, 2025 at 4:11 PM
What is Larry Ellison building in Oxford? Professor Santa Ono says the mission is nothing less than solving the world’s toughest problems by bringing global talent together with AI, machine learning, and robotics. Is this the future of science? @eitoxford.bsky.social youtu.be/f_QcxFMNGv4?...

Extreme positions on AI miss the point. @hlntnr.bsky.social calls out the issues with ‘elite intelligentsia’ ridiculing the concerns of regular folks’ about building smarter than human computers
October 28, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Everyone is trying to automate AI Machine Learning Engineering work – and if this is achieved, it’s over for China.

We wouldn’t bet on U.S. big tech failing. #researchsky #ai #artificialintelligence #podcast

Are the timelines to AGI ridiculous? And is AI 2027 a load of rubbish? @hlntnr.bsky.social gives her opinion #academisky #podcast #artificialintelligence #AGI

China's AI+ strategy is focused on application in specific industries, rather than pouring billions of dollars in the hope we achieve superintelligence.

Is the U.S. strategy actually a recipe for disaster if the bubble pops? #ai #china #airace

@hlntnr.bsky.social explains the Chinese AI strategy. They’re actually focused on harnessing AI to drive economic activity, rather than driving a huge investment bubble.

People don’t appreciate that AI adoption is a real competition too – it’s not all about who reaches AGI first.
The most advanced model doesn’t mean America will necessarily win.

@hlntnr.bsky.social makes a great point – China is focused on adoption – not achieving AGI.

@hlntnr.bsky.social is right – it has been exaggerated how much of a let-down GPT-5 was. If you have been in the field for 10 years you know that everything has pretty much been an incremental improvement #academsky #gpt5
October 16, 2025 at 12:04 PM
Does China care about the risks of AI? Why does the U.S. gov comparatively freakout so much more about the risks of AI - is it just an excuse to regulate and restrict tech companies? @hlntnr.bsky.social
October 15, 2025 at 12:14 PM
Is AI really on an exponential curve, or is that hype?
@garymarcus.bsky.social argues GPT-5 proves the curve has flattened. Scaling isn’t delivering exponential gains anymore and the field is shifting to smaller or hybrid models.
Are we past exponential AI, or just in a slowdown? #academisky #ai
October 6, 2025 at 8:33 AM
Everyone's talking about #TillyNorwood and the rise of the "AI Actress". In the latest episode of AOT we spoke to @garymarcus.bsky.social about whether actors are at threat from AI, take a listen #ai #aiactor #podcastclip
