Billionaire finance mogul Masayoshi Son also said that AI will be 10,000X smarter than humans by 2035.
The founder and CEO of Japanese investment conglomerate Softbank, Masayoshi Son, believes artificial intelligence (AI) will be one to 10 times smarter than humans by 2030 and 10,000 times smarter by 2035.
Son’s comments came during Softbank’s annual meeting in Tokyo on June 21. There, he addressed employees in what’s being called an emotional speech laying out the company’s priorities going forward.
The main takeaway from Son’s commentary appears to be that Softbank is dedicating itself to the development of an “artificial super intelligence” (ASI) that’ll be capable of upending human life as we know it.
