Rene Haas, chief executive of Arm Holdings, said in a September 2026 BBC interview that he believes artificial intelligence will help find a cure for cancer within his lifetime, citing the potential for AI to shorten drug development and testing timelines. He also predicted that AI-enabled humanoid robots capable of learning new tasks could become widespread within five years, while noting that the growth of AI is currently constrained by a shortage of chips needed for data center construction. In a separate September 2026 podcast appearance, Haas discussed Arm's position in the chip supply chain, including its transition from an IP licensing model to producing physical chips such as the Arm AGI CPU for Meta. He stated that most Arm engineers use AI tools daily, particularly for verification and validation tasks in chip design, and identified data center infrastructure buildout as a potential bottleneck for AI development. Haas also described his broader role within SoftBank Group International, which includes overseeing companies such as Ampier, Graphcore, and Stack AV.

Notable quotes

“I think building out the data centers is going to be a bottleneck. And when I say building out, if you look at all the projects that are being done today, not a lot of them are ahead of schedule and needing less labor than they thought, right? And then when you layer on top of that a lot of buzz that's coming from different parts of the country in the United States here relative to slowing down data center developmen”

“I'm a bit of an optimist, primarily because we see the scale of investment required is so large that it requires innovative models and partners and things we have not seen before so they look at this and say this is weird, circular revenue, but I view it as creativity matters.”

“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, OpenAI, 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 th”

“We estimate about 10 gigawatts of capacity over 10 billion up to 10 billion of savings. But as we go forward and we have more and more CPUs inside the systems, you'll get even more benefit relative to using the ARM AGI CPU.”

“We threw out a number back on March 24th around a CPU TAM in five years going to north of 100, $120 billion. And again, at the time when we did that event, we had a lot of questions from media, investors, analysts saying that number seems a little too aggressive. Not sure how you got there. Fast forward, the numbers that people are talking about are almost twice that number, if not larger. What we do know is that AI ”

“Amazon announced Graviton 5, that is their designed chip they designed themselves based on Arm. So we are the licensor, they are the licensee in that case, and they bring those products to market. Five is the latest chip that came out, and what that says quite simply, they're on the fifth generation of the product, which is amazing. They get fantastic performance. They get roughly the same performance that you see on”
