Presented by the BMO Institute for Applied Artificial Intelligence & Quantum

In this episode of Return on Intelligence on Markets Plus, Kristin Milchanowski sits down with Ken Nickerson, Partner for Technology Innovation at Maverix Private Equity, to explore the growing gap between intelligence and judgment. As organizations generate more data, models, and predictions than ever before, the challenge is no longer access to insight; it’s the ability to convert that intelligence into decisions that compound over time.

Drawing on his experience across quantum computing, AI, and venture investing, Nickerson challenges conventional thinking on the future of computation. From the limitations of digital infrastructure to the promise of analog systems and photonics, the conversation reframes how organizations could think about scale, energy, and the next phase of AI development.
