[SoftBank's Masayoshi Son: AI Boom Will Require $5 Trillion in Annual Investment] According to Jin10 reports, SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son stated that by 2040, global artificial intelligence infrastructure will require $5 trillion in annual investment to support the expansion of data centers, power supply, and humanoid robots, thereby driving the shift from a 'human-centered' work model to a new paradigm. He pointed out that as artificial intelligence evolves into 'Artificial Super Intelligence' (ASI), the resulting revenue will justify these massive expenditures. 'AI will completely transform our lives—and this transformation will bring profits,' said Masayoshi Son.
