Masayoshi Son, the founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.softbank.jp/en//" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Softbank</a>, has predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) will surpass human intelligence significantly in the coming years.
By 2030, Son believes AI will be one to ten times smarter than humans, and by 2035, it will be 10,000 times smarter.
Son made these remarks during Softbank’s annual meeting in Tokyo on June 21.
In his emotional address, he outlined the company’s future priorities, emphasizing its commitment to developing “artificial super intelligence” (ASI), which he claims will revolutionize human life.
In his speech, Son differentiated between artificial general intelligence (AGI) and ASI. He explained that AGI would represent a human-level “genius” intelligence, up to ten times smarter than the average person. In contrast, ASI would be 10,000 times more intelligent, far exceeding the human brain’s capabilities.
It’s important to note that there is currently no scientific consensus on the capabilities of AGI or ASI, or even if such entities are achievable with today’s technology.
AI systems with human-level reasoning remain theoretical at this stage.

Son also discussed Softbank’s future and his own mortality, which seemed to concern some investors.
This sentiment was reflected in the stock market, as Softbank’s shares dropped more than 3% when the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed following the meeting.
In a video of the event, Son mentioned that two years ago, he realized he was “getting old” and felt a strong desire to achieve more before his life ends.
He added, “SoftBank was founded for what purpose? For what purpose was Masa Son born? It may sound strange, but I think I was born to realize ASI. I am super serious about it.”
Son’s vision underscores Softbank’s ambitious goal of leading the development of AI technologies that could profoundly impact society.
Despite current technological limitations, his commitment to advancing AI reflects a bold and futuristic outlook for the company.
