Expect Artificial Super Intelligence by 2035, Says SoftBank CEO

SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son reiterated his belief in the imminent arrival of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) on Tuesday, saying that it would require hundreds of billions of dollars in investment to realise. According to him, the currently available Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is at the same level as a human brain.

Artificial Super intelligence

Son began by saying, “…Only focused on AI.” He believes that AI will change humankind’s future forever. “I want to make humankind’s future better, happier, a fantastic future. That’s what I’m interested in.”

However, according to his definition, artificial superintelligence will be 10,000 times smarter than a human brain and will exist by 2035, Son told an audience of global business, technology, and finance leaders at a conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

He warned that not regulating AI (superpower) could be “super dangerous.” Of course, there are always bad elements that could misuse AI. However, these bad elements typically lack the capital to sponsor the technology. There isn’t enough money available to support the bad actors.

Investment Predictions

He predicted that generative AI will require USD 9 trillion in cumulative capital expenditure for data centers and chips in the future, adding that he believes chip maker Nvidia is undervalued based on this projection. Nvidia is just one example, he said, predicting that AI spending will significantly boost Nvidia’s chip business over the next decade.
