As computers that run AI get more sophisticated they will eventually find a cancer cure, said Arm's Rene Haas. AI will help find cure for cancer'within our lifetimes', says Arm Holdings chief The boss of one of the UK's biggest chip companies has claimed AI will be able to find a cure for cancer "in our lifetime". Rene Haas, chief executive of the chip designer Arm Holdings, said that, while modelling how a DNA marker is affected by cancer was currently "too complex" a problem for either humans or technology, computers were "going to solve it" in the future. Haas told the BBC: "AI is going to find a cure for cancer that today you and I, other humans [could] not in our lifetimes. I believe in our lifetime, AI will help cure cancer. "Modelling how a DNA marker is impacted by cancer - it's too complex a problem, not only for humans today, but the computers that run AI.


AI cancer cures slowed by chip shortage, says UK's biggest tech boss

AI cancer cures slowed by chip shortage, says UK's biggest tech boss The boss of the biggest UK-headquartered tech firm has said that artifical intelligence will find a cure for cancer that humans cannot in our lifetimes. Rene Haas, 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. Arm designs the brains or CPUs of microchips already used in hundreds of billions of phones, cars, smartwatches and gadgets across the globe.

In self-driving vehicles, their guidance computers were thrown off by more than 30 feet, potentially meaning the difference between driving in the wrong lane in traffic or running a red light and causing a deadly accident.

Perplexity's Hybrid Compute splits sensitive tasks between cloud and local AI

Engadget

Back in February, debuted Perplexity Computer. Like Claude Cowork, it's a suite of AI agents that can autonomously complete tasks using the web, as well as files and apps on your PC. Since then, the platform has evolved to encompass a few different products, including Personal Computer for the Mac, and today Perplexity is announcing yet offshoot called Hybrid Compute. The new tools allows you to split a task between a frontier, cloud-based model like Opus 5 or GPT-5.6 Sol and a local LLM running on your computer -- the idea being that the local model can handle any sensitive information so that it remains safe and secure on your machine. Perplexity suggests a few different use cases where Hybrid Compute would be a good fit. For instance, a lawyer might want to prepare a brief that compares the case they're working on against existing case law.
