In 10 years, artificial intelligence will appear 10,000 times smarter than humans. This was stated by SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, CNBC writes.
Before the advent of "artificial superintelligence", there will be a "general AI" — it will be 10 times smarter than humans and is expected in the next three to five years. SoftBank's mission is to promote the progress of humanity in creating a superintelligence, Song noted.
"So far, the SoftBank Group has been doing a lot of things that have become a warm—up before realizing my great dream of implementing artificial superintelligence," he said.
According to the head of SoftBank, in the future, various AI models will interact with each other like neurons in the human brain.
Now the Japanese company is making every effort to combine robotics with artificial intelligence for use in all types of mass production and logistics, as well as in autonomous driving.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that SoftBank is looking for $100 billion to create a company that will complement Arm Holdings' AI chip division. Son expects that the products will be in demand for robots and powerful data processing servers that will collectively be able to treat cancer, clean the house and play with children.
Arm Holdings held the status of a technology giant in the early 2010s, when its semiconductors were purchased by the largest suppliers of equipment. Now the controlling stake belongs to the Softbank Group holding.
In December 2023, Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas noted the importance of AI in the company's future development. He expressed the hope that over the next 5-10 years, Arm will be at the center of a "technological revolution", as it was at the time of the spread of smartphones.
In February 2022, Nvidia refused to acquire the chip manufacturer from SoftBank for $40 billion. She paid the Japanese conglomerate $1.25 billion to disrupt the deal.
Recall that in June, Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, announced the creation of Safe Superintelligence, which will focus on the development of "safe superintelligence".
