Rene Haas, CEO of ARM and director at SoftBank, has recently discussed the potential of artificial intelligence in healthcare and robotics. In a September 2026 interview, he stated that AI could shorten drug development timelines and expressed belief that AI will help cure cancer within his lifetime. He also described how AI-enabled robots could learn new tasks beyond their original programming, such as a robot trained to make a bed also learning to arrange towels. Haas has addressed ARM's position in the semiconductor industry, noting the company's transition from an IP licensing model to producing physical chips, including the ARM AGI CPU for Meta. He discussed the importance of CPUs in computing architecture, stating that all computing problems utilize microprocessors. On manufacturing, he emphasized the need for more US-based fabs for national security and supply chain diversification, while also cautioning that restricting computing architecture exports could lead to parallel ecosystems that might disadvantage the US and West. He commented on Intel's decline, attributing it to missed opportunities in mobile and EUV manufacturing investment.

“I think it is critically important for the United States to have as much of that technology inside on US soil. I think we need more US fabs. It's critical for national security. It's also critical for diversification of supply chain. So I'm a big believer in terms of that as a strategy.”

“If you shut off supply of a computing architecture into other parts of the world, what will happen? Certain parts of the world that have the capabilities either in terms of people, technology, innovation, they will find a way and they will find a way around the problem. And once that happens, you've now created two parallel universes and then the US and the West would be at risk of that other ecosystem being an ecosy”

“I will share that opinion, if you look at the deal basics did with Anthropic, it's basically Elon Musk doing his own compute providing compute for someone doing frontier methods. I do the Meta deal is similar, a lot of demand for compute and not everything can be served by smaller players and when you talk about the investment required for gigawatt scale, these are companies with muscle, SpaceX, Meta and SoftBank, wh”

“I don't think so, continuation of a statement last week at the annual meeting from the head of SoftBank, you look at the ecosystem, Open AI, robotics, infrastructure, SoftBank energy, ARM compute, SoftBank is a lot of assets of the company and a group to get into this business so the announcement, the telecom carrier joined with the parent company offering neo cloud services is you can uniquely positioned to win in t”

“What's happening is the computer industry was limited by the number of people using the computers. And now we have agents that are autonomously using computers. And so we're going to have instead of 1 billion humans using computers, we will have tens of billions, maybe more than that of agents and robots and self-driving cars using computers.”

“Google announced for their TPU 8T and 8i that the head node, the CPU that interfaces into the accelerators, is going to move from x86 to Axion, which is their internal chip using ARM neoverse. 60% less power at the same performance.”
