At the Future Investment Initiative held in Saudi Arabia, SoftBank's founder and CEO Masayoshi Son predicted that within the next decade, we will see the emergence of a super artificial intelligence that is ten thousand times smarter than the human brain. However, he also stated that achieving this technology will require significant financial investment. Note: Image generated by AI, licensed from Midjourney. Masayoshi Son mentioned that creating such a super AI would require approximately 400GW of computing center power, a figure that exceeds the current total power supply of the United States.

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.

OpenAI's chief scientist LeCun has proposed a seven-stage development roadmap towards AGI. The 'Moonshot' plan aims to tackle the alignment problem of super AI, with recent research showing significant progress using small models to supervise larger ones. LeCun emphasizes that the first stage is to build systems that can learn how the world operates like small animals. He mocks the intelligence of current large models, stressing that the key to AGI lies in establishing brain-like world models. LeCun's vision includes creating goal-driven, safeguarded systems to gradually achieve super artificial intelligence.

LeCun believes that there will be intelligence exceeding human capabilities in the future, but emphasizes that it will not dominate humanity but rather act as an interactive mediator. Artificial intelligence must be open source to avoid corporate monopolies and ensure that everyone can participate in learning and optimization. There is no inherent connection between intelligence and domination; intelligent systems can be designed to be smart without the desire to dominate. LeCun calls for the establishment of a world model that predicts the consequences of action sequences to enhance general planning capabilities. Open source is key to the development of artificial intelligence, and LeCun is concerned about future challenges and hopes to draw wide attention.
