SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son has projected that by 2040, the global AI infrastructure will necessitate an annual investment of $5 trillion. This investment is expected to support the expansion of data centers, power supply, and humanoid robots, facilitating a transition from a "human-centric" work model to one driven by AI. Son emphasized that as AI advances into "artificial super intelligence" (ASI), the substantial revenues generated will justify these significant expenditures. He stated, "AI will completely change our lives — and this change will bring profits."
