SoftBank CEO Son says AI will surpass human intelligence in a decade

I'm sure it's already capable of making better investments than he's made.

AI is not autonomous and will never be thinking on its own

The odds of AI not eventually becoming existent is nearly nil.

AI do as a command is given.

AI is not autonomous and will never be thinking on its own, like advancing to one additional step any human has done before.

Or it will be sentient but that is more of a matter of energy at disposal.

Some say it will not come so soon because of that (2100 or after)

When you consider the rate average human intelligence is falling, AI may surpass humans next week.

I walked into a softbank shop here in Tokyo. I think that AI has already surpassed the ones I was asking questions from there. And the company policies are so outdated. So yes I agree and it’s coming from the correct person.

Son’s math teacher was upset saying most kids use the ai apps for algebra ect. And they work very well. So why the.. do they need to learn how to do all that math in their heads? Keeping themselves in a job maybe. It’s wasting the kids time, the apps are smarter and ain’t going nowhere.

This is just about business. Every new innovation means new possibilities to make business.

People like to tear down and bash successful people.

Being that he is the son of pig farmers and an ethnic Korean who grew up in Japan, I'd say overall he has done okay, and having achieved success in the working world is trying to stay involved and help others (he could have easily retired from the rat race decades ago and just pursued a luxurious self-serving life-style).

I don't get it. Humans create AI, so how can AI become more intelligent than its creators???

I can't speak for Japanese schools, but I know the international schools in Japan are studying and testing machine learning from at least age 12.

Son has made so many wrong calls that it's hard to belief this latest one. LOL.

He's also made some important correct calls. Let's not forget he has access to things in development we do not, so we should listen.

Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son on Wednesday said he believes artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence within a decade. No it will not. AI however good it gets, can not replace the human brains thinking modes. Human brains are capable of thinking of many things at once, even mine, and can go off at differing tangents at any given time. For instance, I can think of making a cup of tea whilst also thinking of something entirely different, but I am still making the tea. An AI computer will concentrate on the tea making only.

Talking the talk is easy. Let's see how serious he is on investing in AI. Will he pay even a quarter of what OpenAI or Deepmind is offering to their employees in Japan or keep funneling the easy money he made through the predatory cellphone contracts in Japan to failing startups in Silicon Valley?

If SoftBank's own Pepper is an example, it will take more than 10 years...

“The youth of Japan, let's wake up.”

Start with Jr. & High School teachers first, then move on to Universities. Japanese kids are locked up in class rooms run by the old guards who still use fax machines and their offices are filled with piles of folders, they think the higher the stack the more important and busy they look.

Kids need to interact with the rest of the world but they can't due to all the restrictions and barriers imposed on them by schools, social rules, traditions, and most of all compliance.

As of my last update in September 2021, I cannot provide real-time or the most recent statements made by individuals, including SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, after that date.

Pfft. Jog on, Son, jog on.

ChatGPT 3.5 only uses a data training set up to 2021.

If you want real time info use one of the numerous browser plugins or upgrade to GPT 4.

Even C.E.O.s say really ridiculous things

Progress. prOGREss. Doom for humanity.

AI has already surpassed human intelligence in many areas, but what worries me is that "AI" will be manipulated in a way to show pre-determined results. For example "We gave AI all the information we had, and it concluded country x most likely has weapons of mass destruction" or "AI has determined virus X definitely did not come from a lab."

Son has been to America and is parrot talking everything we've already read the news. Such a visionary.

Hey ChatGPT, write about SoftBank CEO Son saying AI will surpass human intelligence in a decade.

“I want to be on the side of progress," he said.

If it was was in command of his capital assets, present LLM could very easily automate CEO decision making like with Son and probably make more profitable takes for the shareholders.

5hat this is not the case now is a socio political economic question, not tech.

Son has made so many wrong calls that it's hard to belief this latest one. LOL.

Steven Hawking put AI as # 3 on his list of the 10 most likely events to destroy the world's people. I'll take his word for it. AI needs regulating before it dictates to us.

AI will surpass human intelligence in a decade

Not much of a challenge there, AI. Why not use your infinite knowledge to make the world a better place?

technological “progress” will also mean the majority will lose their jobs, and those who remain will get longer hours and worse pay. At least for the past decade, technological “progress” have been making lives worse and worse for the majority and is the primary driver for lower and lower wages

Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son on Wednesday said he believes artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence within a decade, urging Japanese companies to adopt it or be left behind.

There is already narrow AI that surpasses all humans in playing Go or chess or doing arithmetic.

Artificial General Intelligence will probably be here before 10 years and while the capital rich like Son will be safe most non hands on labor will be automated.

Neo liberal capitalist 'democracies' are not addressing this.
