The boss of an AI company fears artificial intelligence will wreak havoc if we're not careful. AI can help millions around the world, but he's worried about where its development is heading.
In a chat with Bloomberg, Rene Haas confessed, "The thing I worry about most is humans losing capability' over machines. You need some override, some backdoor, some way that the system can be shut down," he urged.
"I think it will find its way into everything that we do, and every aspect of how we work, live, play. It's going to change everything over the next five-to-10 years."
Haas became Arm's boss in 2022, taking over from Simon Segas who spent 30 years at the company. Arm, worth a whopping £55 billion and listed on the NY stock market, designs chips for nearly all smartphones.
Almost all premium phones run on an Arm chip and there are 2.5 billion Arm-based devices already using AI.

Mr Haas, the boss of Arm, has previously expressed his belief that AI can "change lives around the world," with growth in using AI central to that. In February 2022, he said: "It is an honour to lead the world's most influential technology company at a time when Arm's market opportunity has never been greater.

Artificial intelligence will 'change everything' in the coming years, Rene Haas, chief executive of Arm Holdings, believes (Getty Images)"Arm changed lives around the globe by delivering the technology at the heart of the smartphone revolution. We are now uniquely positioned to address the diverse demands of AI, cloud, IoT, automotive and the Metaverse. And with the uncertainty of the past several months behind us, we are emboldened by a renewed energy to move into a growth strategy and change lives around the world - again."
The growth of Arm in AI will need massive amounts of data storage capacity and many believe the technology could transform sectors. This follows Microsoft's announcement last month to invest £2.5 billion over the next three years to expand data centres for AI across the UK.

Microsoft has promised to train "more than one million people for the AI economy," and they're also going to help make sure AI is safe. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, "The UK started the global conversation on AI earlier this month, and Microsoft's historic investment is further evidence of the leading role we continue to play in expanding the frontiers of AI to harness its economic and scientific benefits."
