TOKYO, June 27 (Reuters) - SoftBank Group CEO

Masayoshi Son said on Friday that he wants the investment group

to become the biggest platform provider for "artificial super

intelligence" within the next 10 years.

"We want to become the organiser of the industry in the

artificial super intelligence era," Son told shareholders at the

group's annual shareholder meeting.

Son likened his aim to the position of dominant technology

platform providers such as Microsoft ( MSFT ), Amazon ( AMZN )

and Alphabet's Google, who benefit from a "winner

takes all" dynamic.

At previous public appearances Son has described artificial

super intelligence as exceeding human capabilities by a factor

of 10,000.

The technology investment group has returned to making the

aggressive investments that made Son's name and fortune, such as

an early bet on Alibaba ( BABA ), but at times spectacularly

backfired, like failed shared office provider WeWork.

SoftBank's mammoth investments related to artificial

intelligence in 2025 include acquiring U.S. semiconductor design

company Ampere for $6.5 billion and the underwriting of up to

$40 billion of new investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI.

Son said Softbank's total agreed investment in OpenAI now

stood at $32 billion and that he expected OpenAI to eventually

list publicly.

"I'm all in on OpenAI," Son said.
