Summary
Rene Haas said artificial intelligence will help cure cancer “in our lifetime,” arguing future systems will solve biological problems that are still beyond both humans and current AI.
DNA-marker modeling is the key hurdle he highlighted, saying cancer’s effects remain too complex today but should become tractable as models improve and computing power grows.
AI is already moving into healthcare: the NHS said earlier this year more than 4 million patients got faster lung diagnoses through funded AI-powered X-ray tools.
Haas also said AI could bring widespread humanoid robots within five years, though chip shortages are slowing that push at Arm, the Cambridge-headquartered chip designer valued at $269 billion.
