SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son believes artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be realized within 10 years and will surpass human intelligence.

Son introduced the idea of "Artificial Super Intelligence" at a conference, claiming it will be realized in 20 years and surpass human intelligence by 10,000 times.

Son called on Japanese companies to "wake up" to the promise of AI, arguing they've fallen behind in the internet age.
