According to Reuters reports, SoftBank group founder and CEO Masayoshi Sun said, that he believes that the general artificial intelligence (AGI) will be realized in 10 years, AGI that is, “almost in all areas beyond the human intelligence of AI”.
It is reported that Masayoshi Son, who spoke at the SoftBank World Corporate Congress today, believes that generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is rapidly evolving, and that he believes AGI will be 10 times smarter than the sum of all human intelligence in the future.
Previously, Mr. Masayoshi Sun also said that SoftBank is developing a Japanese version of ChatGPT, and made a statement that “if you can’t embrace AI, you’re losing the future”.
Sun is quite optimistic about the development of AI, claiming that he is a “heavy user” of ChatGPT, “almost every day” and ChatGPT exchanges.
Last month, SoftBank’s British chip design company ARM officially landed on the Nasdaq exchange, raising $4.87 billion, making it the largest IPO deal so far this year. On the occasion of the listing of ARM, Masayoshi Son once again said that he is a “faithful believer” in artificial intelligence, ARM is the “core” beneficiary of the artificial intelligence revolution.
At the shareholders’ meeting on June 21 this year, Masayoshi Son presented a slide titled “Evolution Speed,” which showed a chart of human evolution. From the birth of mankind to the agricultural revolution, the curve was completely flat until the transition from the industrial revolution to the information revolution, when it rose slightly. He said at the time that in the next few years, due to the development of artificial intelligence, the curve would rise steeply, with a slope approaching a vertical line.
