Masayoshi Son says human era is over, challenges AI bubble claims
SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son said the era in which humans sit atop living beings will end as artificial intelligence spreads, and that humans must evolve into “superhumans” to survive. Speaking at a SoftBank World 2026 special lecture, he set out a 2040 vision for AI, forecasting huge market size, profits and power demand from data centres. He rejected claims of an AI investment bubble as misguided.
