Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas believes artificial intelligence will be able to discover a cure for cancer within our lifetime. While modeling the impact of DNA markers on cancer is currently too complex for humans or existing technology, Haas is confident that AI will eventually solve the issue as computers become more sophisticated and powerful.
He stated that modelling the impact of a DNA marker on cancer is too complex a problem for both humans and current AI systems. However, as more models are fed into these computers and the technology advances, they will eventually uncover the cure. In addition to finding a cancer cure, Haas predicts that AI will also lead to the widespread use of humanoid robots within the next five years.
These robots will be able to see, learn, and reprogrammed for new tasks, making them adaptable for various roles in the service industry. However, Haas also mentioned that chip shortages are currently hindering the growth of this area. Arm Holdings, with its headquarters in Cambridge and about 7,000 employees worldwide, is the biggest technology company in Britain.
The company is valued at $269 billion and has significant clients including Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, and Nvidia.
