Andy Rubin Sees AI and Quantum Computers as Next Big Thing

Andy Rubin, the Google veteran who built Android into the world's largest mobile operating system, is convinced that artificial intelligence is the next big thing. Rubin is the founder of Playground Global, a hardware and software incubator and venture capital firm overseeing at least 300 million. A veteran of past technology transitions, Rubin is now thinking about what could be the next big change to ripple through the industry. "New computing platforms happen every 10 to 12 years," he said at the Bloomberg Technology Conference, citing MS-DOS, Windows PCs and mobile as examples. "What's the next platform?... It's about data and people training AI systems to learn."
