SoftBank – CEO: in 20 years, AI will surpass human intelligence by a factor of 10,000

Seoul, October 5, 2023

At the SoftBank World conference, the CEO once again proved that he is already well informed about the future. To reinforce this assessment, he made astonishing statements to the public.

Basically, the question is whether AI is superior to human intelligence. Masayoshi Son states that artificial general intelligence will surpass human intelligence in most areas within a decade.

And what comes next? In 20 years, AI will surpass human intelligence by a factor of 10,000. His explanation: “AI is now self-learning, self-training and self-considering, just like humans.”

In this respect, the FT may not have been wrong when it reported a month ago that SoftBank was looking to invest “tens of billions in AI”, including a possible investment in OpenAI.
