SoftBank CEO Predicts AI Surpasses Humans

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son said Friday in Seoul that advanced artificial intelligence could surpass humans by about 10,000 times and might even win awards like the Nobel Prize in Literature. Son, a major SoftBank investor in OpenAI, compared future human-AI relations to humans and pets and downplayed existential risk, saying superintelligent systems would not 'eat' humans.
