Speaking at SoftBank World via teleconference, the two business partners agreed that advancing AI would create new jobs that are currently unimagined and that robotics would initiate a “self-improvement” loop. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has reassured SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son that demand for artificial intelligence in the coming days is only going to increase. Altman, who leads the company behind popular chatbot ChatGPT, emphasised the need to keep on building more computing capacity to better serve the upcoming demand. Their conversation, addressing Japanese business and enterprise leaders, mainly centred around the theme of self-replicating innovation.
At the event, Altman also discussed the concept of robots building other robots, while Son further developed the idea of AI agents learning independently and then creating new ones to boost productivity, reports Bloomberg. Son also shared a plan to deploy a billion AI agents within the SoftBank group by this year and even design an operating system for them the report added.
