The Four Horsemen of Technological Disruption
from Cam Harvey: Through the Noise · host Duke University's Fuqua School of Business
Cam Harvey reveals why AI is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. In this episode, he outlines four simultaneous technological disruptions — artificial intelligence, quantum computing, decentralized technologies, and multiomics — arguing that nothing in history compares to having all four converge at once. Harvey explains why AI productivity gains are imminent in 2026, how quantum computing will solve optimization problems that today's supercomputers can't touch, why stablecoins will become the financial backbone for AI agents, and how the combination of all four could revolutionize personalized medicine within years, not decades. The synergies between these technologies, he argues, will dwarf the changes we've seen in recent history.
