AI will help find cure for cancer 'within our lifetimes', says Arm Holdings chief
As computers that run AI get more sophisticated they will eventually find a cancer cure, said Arm's Rene Haas. 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.
This AI entrepreneur is developing agents that can plan ahead for the unexpected
Danijar Hafner has a startup in stealth and a long track record of teaching AI agents about our world. Danijar Hafner's office in San Francisco's SoMa district sits mostly empty. His brand-new startup is still in stealth mode and doesn't even have its name on the door. On the day I visit, there's only one other person there, and little in the way of furniture. But what it lacks in decor, it makes up for in robots. Humanoids of various shapes and sizes hang like marionettes from racks that run down the center of the wide-open space.
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.
Could robots help tackle loneliness? BBC's Ann Droid raises questions about the future of care
Could robots help tackle loneliness? BBC's Ann Droid raises questions about the future of care New BBC sitcom Ann Droid imagines a near future in which robots provide care and companionship to older people at home. The series centres on Sue, a recent widow played by Sue Johnston, her hapless son Michael and Linda, an assistive care robot played by Diane Morgan. Linda is designed to provide daily support and companionship, with predictably comic results. As researchers in social care, ageing and human-centred robotics, we obviously watched Ann Droid with a keen eye.

Robot penguins make a splash at Wakayama theme park
The robots -- one modeled after a rockhopper penguin and the other after a gentoo penguin -- are exhibited among real penguins at the theme park, the world's only facility to house 10 species of penguins. Visitors looked amazed to see one of the robots deftly move its flippers to change direction and dive deeper into the water as it swam next to real Humboldt penguins. "I thought it was real," one visitor said. The robots were created by Ikuma Okada, the 34-year-old leader of a group within the Adventure World operator.

Exploring the Moon will require rovers that can think for themselves – an upcoming NASA mission will test whether they can
NASA is planning to send three small rovers to the Moon with a single instruction: Work out among yourselves how to explore a patch of ground. The Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration mission, or CADRE, will land on the side of the Moon facing Earth as part of NASA's IM-3 launch, planned for late 2026. These rovers will spend roughly two weeks mapping the terrain as a self-guided team. No joystick will control them, and no human will approve each turn. The rovers will elect a leader among themselves, assign their own tasks and redraw their plans as a group when one of them runs low on charge.
