This idea was made more precise by Leonard Susskind, who had also been developing holography, largely independently.
Susskind 2008 The AdS/CFT correspondence resolves the black hole information paradox, at least to some extent, because it shows how a black hole can evolve in a manner consistent with quantum mechanics in some contexts.
