Video/THE 2022 OPPENHEIMER LECTURE: THE QUANTUM ORIGINS OF GRAVITY
Susskind, Leonard (May 12, 2022). THE 2022 OPPENHEIMER LECTURE: THE QUANTUM ORIGINS OF GRAVITY. local page: UC Berkeley Events.
This video talks about the physical meaning of data in a quantum mechanical sense. He considers Quantum Mechanics and gravity are the two sides of the same coin. He also mentioned AdS/CFT correspondence.
On the quantum side of this coin: By 42'31" of this video, he stated the following:
The quantum side of it... It is a computer science concept, it is called the growth of complexity...
On the gravitational side of this coin:
The gravity side of it... is about information scrambling,..., accounts for the falling of the apple, ..., information scrambling from black hole led to a bound, a fundamental bound on how fast information can spread...

Hermann Weyl wrote an essay on this topic:Electricity and Gravitation[1]. It would be very useful to read this article before or after watching this video.
