Sun Zhengyi, who was relished by the Chinese people because of his investment in Alibaba's vision, is now turning his attention to artificial intelligence, or AI.
At the World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC) last night in Beijing time, Sun Zhengyi, president of Softbank of Japan, delivered a speech, revealing for the first time the latest developments after he acquired the British chip architecture manufacturer ARM last year, and why he wanted to lead OneWeb, which is engaged in production and launch. American company of satellites.
Sun Zhengzhi is building a company with a monopoly position in the future of intelligent industry. He predicted that the "singularity" of artificial intelligence will come next year. Wearing shoes with chips installed, the feet can be smarter than the head.
"The IQ of your head may not be as good as your feet."
Since the second half of last year, Sun Zheng has been rushing to artificial intelligence. First, it bought ARM for $32 billion in July. Since then, it has provided a new round of financing for OneWeb for $1.2 billion. Softbank has invested $1 billion to make up 40% of the shares and become the largest shareholder.
In fact, Softbank and the Arab sovereign fund jointly established a $100 billion investment fund last year, named "Vision Fund", which mainly invests in AI, Internet of Things and smart robots. Sun Zheng said that this forced him to initiate an investigation of ARM and ultimately make a decision on the acquisition.
In addition to saving money, Sun Zhengyi publicly revealed his "fanaticism" about AI on various occasions. He repeatedly stressed that "singularity" is real, and he predicts that singularities will come around 2018, artificial intelligence will enter an irreversible stage of development, and will greatly surpass humans.
He even laughed and said that in the next few years, a pair of shoes with chips may be smarter than the human brain. That is to say, the IQ of your head may not be as good as your feet.
How much is AI smarter than the human brain? Sun Zheng said that the IQ of ordinary people may be around 100, and the IQ of Einstein is about 200, but the IQ of artificial intelligence can reach 10,000!
This conclusion is based on the fact that humans have about 30 billion neurons that can be assumed to be binary connections. The complex operations that billions of transistors in a chip can perform are surpassing the capabilities of 30 billion neurons.
I am confident that the ARM chip will "rule" the smart world.
Sun Zhengyi disclosed the situation after the acquisition of ARM for the first time last night. He is very confident about ARM's future "ruling" of the intelligent world, and also cites the problems that AMR is trying to solve. He said:
"99% of smartphones worldwide use ARM chips, and ARM will output 1 trillion IoT chips in the next decade, so we will have 1 trillion customers joining the Internet of Things.
After the acquisition of ARM, I talked to our engineers every week. We talked about security because all of this can be hacked. One of our engineers did a small experiment while waiting for his wife at lunch time. He wanted to try out how many surveillance cameras he could invade. As a result, he invaded 1.2 million! Of course he is a good person, he will not really do this. But he published his discovery. We are therefore eager to work hard to strengthen security.
Today, 500 ARM chips will be installed in a new car, but none of them are safe. I would also like to emphasize that because the vehicle can move, this can lead to uncontrollable dangerous consequences. â€
Sun Zhengyi also showed a video to illustrate this point. In the video, two men, apparently ARM engineers, were sitting in the car, and the vehicle suddenly lost its brake function. Then the vehicle was taken over by the autopilot system and the two engineers looked very weak. Sun Zheng explained that the hacker invaded the driving system of the vehicle and took over the driving, which is terrible.
Sun Zhengyi said that by 2035, the average number of IoT devices per person in the world will be greatly increased from 2 in 2010 to 100, and most of them will be equipped with ARM chips. Last year, global cyber attacks reached 128 billion times, 4.2 times that of a year ago. Therefore, ARM is currently designing solutions to these security issues, not only for precision chips, but also for all microcontroller chips. Sun Zheng said that this is still the simplest part of ARM improvement.
OneWeb will launch 800 satellites next year
When talking about the point of interest for OneWeb, Sun Zheng said that he was mainly interested in "cloud control," which is part of his expectations for AI. He disclosed that OneWeb will launch 800 satellites into space next year, when the number of satellites around the Earth will reach 2,000.
"Think about it, your home fiber and space signals are connected, the download speed reaches 200 megabytes, and the upload speed reaches 50 megabytes." Sun Zheng said, "At that time, satellite signals will be ubiquitous, and of course, can help the car network."
As for the future of AI, is it a blessing or a curse? Sun Zheng believes that this is a philosophical issue. He cited the risks that 12 scholars may face in Oxford University scholars, and AI is included with super volcanoes and global diseases. But AI is also likely to be used to solve other 11 types of disasters, so it depends on how humans use AI. He finally advocated everyone to join the use of artificial intelligence, because this is by no means a human ideal that can only be achieved by Softbank.
