SoftBank's Son lays out ambitious mission on 'artificial super intelligence' asia.nikkei.comMasayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank Group, declared during the annual general meeting that the company's goal is to develop artificial superintelligence, which he believes will be ten times more advanced than human capabilities. The company's current focus is on combining AI and robots for logistics, autonomous driving, and mass production; this requires a substantial investment and collaborations.Although the Vision Fund experienced setbacks with some underperforming tech investments, Son's reputation has been restored by the successful IPO of Arm, SoftBank's British chip designer. Arm's stock price has risen significantly, attracting many AI-focused investors. As a result , investment management firm Elliott Management has acquired a substantial stake in SoftBank and is advocating for a $15 billion share buyback to raise the stock price. Son is open to this suggestion but has no immediate plans for a buyback. He has also contemplated taking SoftBank private if its stock price continues to lag behind the company's true value.#ArtificialSuperintelligence#SoftBank#MasayoshiSon#AIRevolution#TechInnovationhttps://lnkd.in/ghmpdM_q
