At Quantum World Congress, I met with Dr. Kristin Milchanowski who is the Global Quantum Leader for EY to discuss what the landscape of quantum is today.
The way Kristin sees this space, is that she recognizes that not everyone can afford to invest in experimental quantum hardware. Their broader goal is to democratize quantum, and EY has been testing and curating an ecosystem of vendors who are entering the market in droves — just in the last two years they have seen 800 new vendors come through. A client can work with EY and have access to the very best in all these disciplines without spending a lot of money, because they have already done the trial and error.
As EY Global Innovation Quantum Leader, she focuses her time and energy on quantum research projects including portfolio optimization, anomaly detection, sustainable energy demand planning, and DNA sequencing and drug discovery, as well as the more defensive cybersecurity efforts. Today, their team really focuses on quantum sensing since it’s on a “now” time horizon – this is advanced sensor technology that yields extreme accuracy for a wide range of applications, from developing more reliable geolocation systems, more accurate medical diagnostic imaging and safer autonomous vehicles. About a quarter of her time is spent on educating people within EY and externally about what quantum is all about.

Imagine if verifying you’re human online didn’t mean giving up your privacy—or your entire transaction history. Today, blockchain’s biggest paradox is that while it promises trustless systems, it often leaves identities and wallets wide open, exposing users to everything from Sybil attacks to airdrop hunters. On platforms like Base, the Coinbase-backed Ethereum Layer 2 now outpacing Solana in daily transactions, the need for real, private user verification has never been greater. Enter Human Passport —formerly Gitcoin Passport—and its co-founder, Kyle Weiss . Their mission? To build the holy grail of blockchain identity: a way to prove you’re real, at scale, without KYC headaches or opaque algorithms. In this episode, we dive into how Human Passport is merging AI’s reasoning power with blockchain’s immutable transparency, using tools like zero-knowledge proofs to keep your data private but your identity verifiable. Kyle shares the story behind Human Passport, the invisible war for humanity playing out on-chain, and what the next era of privacy-first, bot-proof blockchain might look like. If you care about the future of digital identity—or just want to know how Web3 can finally keep the bots at bay—this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

Anders Indset is a philosopher for the digital age—a renowned author, business thinker, and trusted advisor to leaders navigating the complexities of tomorrow. With his latest book, "The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI," Anders delivers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most pressing questions of our era: How do we reconcile rapid technological advancement with our deepest human values? Anders’ journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Originally from Norway and now based in Germany, he has become a sought-after voice on the global stage, known for blending European philosophical tradition with sharp insights into technology, leadership, and the future of society. His previous works, including "Quantenwirtschaft" and "Wild Knowledge," have challenged readers to rethink economics, innovation, and the meaning of progress. In "The Singularity Paradox," Anders takes on the accelerating convergence of artificial intelligence and human life. He argues that while the singularity—the point at which AI surpasses human intelligence—offers unprecedented opportunities, it also presents profound risks and ethical dilemmas. Anders doesn’t see this as a distant sci-fi scenario, but as a present-day challenge demanding urgent reflection and action. His central philosophy is that technology must serve humanity, not the other way around. Anders calls for a new "philosophy of practical wisdom," urging us to cultivate what he terms "enlightened pragmatism." This means embracing innovation while remaining grounded in empathy, ethics, and the timeless quest for meaning. He warns against the dangers of technological determinism and advocates for what he calls "Homo obsoletus"—a recognition that our own obsolescence is only a risk if we fail to adapt, learn, and lead with purpose. Anders’ writing is both poetic and pragmatic, weaving together insights from philosophy, science, and business. He challenges leaders to bridge the gap between digital transformation and human flourishing, to ask not just what we can do with AI, but what we should do. His vision is one where technology amplifies our humanity, rather than diminishes it. As we stand on the threshold of the AI era, "The Singularity Paradox" is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of this new world with wisdom, courage, and hope. Anders Indset reminds us that the future is not something that simply happens to us—it is something we have the power, and the responsibility, to shape.
