Solving the Unsolvable - The Impacts of Quantum AI | Azhmeer Jesani | TEDxSugarLand
Quantum AI represents an imminent shift in technology that will soon redefine entire industries, making it crucial for today's workforce to understand and adapt. As quantum computing advances, roles across healthcare, climate science, finance, and logistics will increasingly rely on quantum-driven insights. Sharing this knowledge now empowers professionals and organizations to proactively integrate Quantum AI, positioning themselves as leaders in a future driven by unprecedented computational capabilities. Azhmeer Jesani is a rising high school senior passionate about quantum artificial intelligence (QAI) and dedicated to community enrichment. His innovative research earned him first place in Physics and Astronomy at the CCISD District Science Fair, along with the district’s prestigious Innovation Award for his exploration of practical applications in QAI classification algorithms.
Beyond his academic pursuits, Azhmeer is deeply committed to environmental sustainability, earning the Eagle Scout rank for his impactful service project. He contributes creatively to his community as a photographer for the Southwestern Institutional Communications team and serves as an inaugural member of the Ismaili Youth Council, bridging communication between Ismaili youth and institutional leadership.
Additionally, Azhmeer actively empowers his community by teaching Python programming, enriching his local community as a cellist in a community orchestra, and showcasing his talent internationally as a performing pianist.

- 10:32How to make AI and influence people | Sungjoo Yoon | TEDxBostonIn the age of artificial intelligence, it is not yet clear which form factors will best translate these massive advancements into winning consumer products. However, the past century of consumer technology give us a strong hint: the more information that an interface can solicit from an individual user, the greater the product quality for all of its users. This truism, coined in this talk as the "preference principle", gives us a clue into which applications of artificial intelligence will be most useful, widespread, and popular in the distant future. But what does this mean for product design, and more specifically, what will winning consumer products look like in the decades to come? Will they be more anthropomorphic than we expect?AI, Computers, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Interface design, Software Sungjoo Yoon is the cofounder, CEO, and president of Biography, the world's first relational intelligence laboratory. Prior to dropping out at 20 years of age to build applied artificial intelligence, he studied biology, government, data science, and computer science at Harvard College. He was also on the research staff of the Camerer Lab at Caltech, studying choice theory and quantitative neuroeconomics.Sungjoo Yoon is the cofounder, CEO, and president of Biography, the world's first relational intelligence laboratory.
