Boss of chip giant says AI will cure cancer "in our lifetime" & robots can use AI to learn

Rene Haas, the boss of the biggest UK-headquartered tech firm, has said that artificial intelligence will find a cure for cancer that humans cannot in our lifetimes. The chief executive of Cambridge-based chip designer Arm Holdings said while modelling how a DNA marker is impacted by cancer was currently "too complex" a problem, computers are "going to solve it" in the future. Haas also told the BBC that AI would lead to widespread humanoid robots in the next five years, but that its current rapid growth was being held up by a shortage of chips needed to build data centres. However, he was sceptical about the idea chips could be manufactured in the UK in the future. Interview by Faisal Islam. #AI #artificialintelligence #tech #technology #bbc #bbcnews
