Proud to present Agents of Tech, the show asking big questions about big tech. Stay up to date and stay in the know! youtube.com/@AgentsofTech/fe…
In this AOT highlight, Laila Rizvi revisits her conversation with @GaryMarcus, to ask: how do you actually scale an alternative architecture? Marcus argues that while neuro-symbolic systems may be scientifically stronger, they also require serious investment and new discoveries.
What role can the UK play in a global AI landscape dominated by the US and China? Here, Deane outlines what the UK is uniquely placed to lead, and why collaboration (not competition) will define how smaller countries shape the future of AI. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

Could OQC really become the next Nvidia? When Laila sat down with Gerald Mullally of @OQC_Tech , she asked exactly that.

Let's look back at one of 2025's biggest themes: the escalating AI race between the United States and China. Be sure to check out the full length episode over on Agents of Tech YouTube #AI #Geopolitics #USChina #AIPolicy #ChinaAI #HelenToner #OpenAI #SamAltman #TechCompetition
As 2025 comes to a close, here at Agents of Tech we’re looking back on some of our favourite moments from the year! Let's begin with Autria Godfrey’s top moments, featuring two of the year's most talked-about voices in AI

Gerald Mullally raises a big question: is it healthy for the UK to rely on foreign tech companies for critical innovation? If the UK wants to see the full economic and societal benefits of quantum and AI, it may need its own homegrown global tech champion.

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 is 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. @OQC_Tech

One of quantum computing’s most mind-blowing advantages is breaking the link between energy and compute.
It’s not magic, it’s architecture, physics, and a lot of brilliant engineering. @OQC_Tech

Gerald Mullally breaks down why the last 12–18 months have been such a turning point for quantum. No wonder interest is exploding.

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.
Agents of Tech is officially a 2025 Spotify Rising Star ⭐️ Huge thanks to everyone who follows, watches and jumps into the conversation. We’re just getting started, big things ahead. #SpotifyWrapped
Professor Santa Ono says the real story behind AI isn’t replacement, it’s acceleration. From Oracle to OpenAI and Microsoft, the biggest players are pouring resources into fundamental science because AI can now solve problems that once took decades.
Most people still feel the jury is out on AI, but trillions are already being spent. The real risk is drifting into that future without a serious plan.
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, @SantaJOno from @EITOxford says the UK has quietly engineered one of the most powerful science ecosystems anywhere.
