In a recent interview with CNBC, Masayoshi Son discussed the evolution of AI, suggesting that OpenAI's next model is being developed by an existing AI model, which he believes signifies a move towards super intelligence.
Son, who is a significant investor in OpenAI, stated that engineers may soon be unable to design future models themselves, leading to AI systems that could be exponentially smarter than humans. He previously estimated that artificial super intelligence (ASI) could emerge within ten years but has now revised this timeline to just two years.
Son's bullish stance on AI is underscored by his daily use of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which he claims surpasses human intelligence in many areas. Meanwhile, Anthropic has raised concerns about the risks associated with 'recursive self-improvement' in AI, warning that it could lead to humans losing control over advanced AI systems.
This highlights the need for careful governance as AI technology continues to evolve rapidly
