SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son told investors last week that he believes 'super AI', with an intelligence level 10,000 times that of human intelligence, could be achieved in just three years.

SoftBank Group's stock price climbed due to Masayoshi Son's plan to establish a $10 billion AI chip company. Son will invest $30 billion, with plans to name the company Izanagi, competing in the global semiconductor market. This initiative could surpass Microsoft's investment in OpenAI, and Son has high hopes for the future of artificial intelligence. SoftBank's stock rose by 30%, as Son sees immense opportunities in the AI sector.

In this wave of AI, SoftBank's conservative investments have caused them to miss opportunities with multiple AI unicorns. The investment strategies and models of SoftBank are difficult to replicate from past successes, resulting in missed chances. Both SoftBank and Masayoshi Son face internal challenges with frequent executive turnover. While Son has shown a proactive approach in the AI sector, SoftBank as a whole continues to lean towards conservative investments. SoftBank and Son are facing the overall downturn in the venture capital industry.
