ANAMITA GUHA
QUANTUM COMPUTING & AI LEADER
IF/THEN Series
Anamita Guha is combining two cutting edge technologies: quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Quantum computing is a field developing faster and more powerful computers which work in a whole new way from regular computers. AI is taking computers and making them “think” and act like humans! Guha is exploring the possibilities of just what can happen if you combine the two.
Guha makes sure her work is focused on ethics, equity, and inclusion and wants to make a better world.
Technology has always played a big role in Guha’s life. At age three, she was up and running on her own computer, and by age nine she was designing websites as a side hustle. Out of this early digital relationship, Guha developed an understanding of the power technology has to connect people and change the world.
Educational Pathway: Guha studied cognitive science (the study of the human brain and mind from multiple perspectives) in college. She then earned her MBA, and took journalism classes.
Name Pronunciation: Hear the correct pronunciation of Guha’s name in her IF/THEN Ambassador videos.
