The Arm business model has inspired innovators, entrepreneurs, academics and now –  the cumulative deployment of 100 billion chips, half of which shipped in the last four years. It is an amazing achievement but success does not belong to Arm alone…

Conversations about artificial intelligence tend to go in one of two directions. Will it bring us a rampaging-robot chaos, or will AI make the world a much better place? As it turns out, people tend to believe the optimistic outcome by a wide margin.
