He commented at a virtual summit about AI which was hosted by Saudi Arabia, who is an anchor investor in the 100-billion-dollar Vision Fund, at which he restated his belief that Artificial Intelligence will transform society.
The Nvidia deal, part of a series of asset sales by the company’s CEO, whose group has been shaken by soured investments and the current outbreak, has elevated concerns whether it will threaten Arm’s role as an unbiassed supplier in the industry.
