Belying expectations: Five tech letdowns of 2024

Live Mint  

Generative AI has shown immense potential since OpenAI’s ChatGPT gained over 100 million users within two months of its launch in December 2022. Whatever data Smart City 1.0 is producing in 100 smart cities will come to the data exchange, called Urban India Data Exchange, which is fully funded by the ministry of housing and urban affairs. Hence, Google’s quantum computing chip, named Willow, made waves this month for its ability to reduce system errors despite adding qubits and solving in under five minutes a computation that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years, more than the age of the universe, to finish. A quantum computer allows two quantum bits to represent the four states at the same time due to ‘superposition’ and ‘entanglement’ properties, akin to running four computers. A quantum computer’s power grows exponentially with more qubits but it also induces errors, making the system resemble your normal computer.
