SoftBank CEO talks up artificial super intelligence ambitions By Reuters

SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son said on Friday that the group's mission was to help in humanity's progress by realising artificial super intelligence, which he said would exceed human capabilities by a factor of 10,000.
"SoftBank (TYO:9984) Group has done many things until now that have all been a warm up for my great dream to realise artificial super intelligence," Son told shareholders at the group's annual general meeting.
Son often hails the transformative power of new technologies and has made his name and fortune by betting on the proliferation of the internet and smartphones.
At Friday's meeting, he said the group was now putting all its efforts into pairing robotics with artificial intelligence to be used in all kinds of mass production and logistics, as well as autonomous driving.
