SoftBank aims to become leading 'artificial super intelligence' platform provider
软银力争成为领先"人工超级智能"平台提供商

TOKYO, June 27 (Reuters) - SoftBank Group (9984.T), opens new tab CEO Masayoshi Son on Friday said he wants the Japanese technology investment group to become the biggest platform provider for "artificial super intelligence" within the next 10 years.
路透东京 6 月 27 日电 - 软银集团(9984.T)首席执行官孙正义周五表示，他希望这家日本科技投资集团在未来 10 年内成为"人工超级智能"领域最大的平台提供商。

"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.
"我们希望在人工超级智能时代成为行业的组织者，"孙正义在该集团年度股东大会上对股东们表示。

Son likened his aim to the position of dominant technology platform providers such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google, which benefit from a "winner takes all" dynamic.
孙正义将这一目标比作微软(MSFT.O)、亚马逊(AMZN.O)和谷歌母公司 Alphabet(GOOGL.O)等占据主导地位的科技平台提供商所享有的地位，这些企业都受益于"赢家通吃"的行业法则。

At previous public appearances Son has described artificial super intelligence as AI technology that is able to exceed human capabilities by a factor of 10,000.
在之前的公开露面中，孙正义曾将超级人工智能描述为能力超越人类万倍的 AI 技术。

SoftBank has returned to making the aggressive investments that made Son's name, such as an early bet on Alibaba (9988.HK), opens new tab, but that at times spectacularly backfired, like its massive investment in failed shared office provider WeWork.
软银已重启激进投资策略——这种策略曾为孙正义赢得声誉（如早期押注阿里巴巴(9988.HK)），但也曾遭遇惨痛失败（如对共享办公空间企业 WeWork 的巨额投资）。

Its AI-related deals this year include acquiring U.S. semiconductor designer Ampere for $6.5 billion and the underwriting of up to $40 billion of new investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI.
今年软银在人工智能领域的交易包括以 65 亿美元收购美国半导体设计公司安培（Ampere），以及对 ChatGPT 开发商 OpenAI 承诺高达 400 亿美元的新投资承销。

Son said SoftBank's total agreed investment in OpenAI now stood at $32 billion since first investing in Autumn 2024 and that he regretted not investing earlier. He also said he expected OpenAI to eventually list publicly.
孙正义表示，自 2024 年秋季首次投资以来，软银对 OpenAI 的协议投资总额已达 320 亿美元，并对自己未能更早投资表示遗憾。他还预计 OpenAI 最终将进行公开上市。

"I'm all in on OpenAI," Son said.
"我全力押注 OpenAI，"孙正义说道。

SoftBank had owned around 5% of Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab until it sold the stake in 2019, before ChatGPT generated a surge in AI interest at the end of 2022. Nvidia now dominates AI chipmaking and has become one of the world's most valuable companies.
在 2019 年出售持股前，软银曾持有英伟达(NVDA.O)约 5%的股份，而当时 ChatGPT 尚未在 2022 年底引发人工智能热潮。如今英伟达已主导 AI 芯片制造领域，并成为全球最具价值的公司之一。

Son's latest spending spree follows years of retrenchment after the high-growth tech startups into which SoftBank had invested billions of dollars through its Vision Fund investment vehicles crashed in value from 2022.
孙正义的最新一轮大规模投资，是在多年收缩后展开的。此前软银通过愿景基金向高增长科技初创企业投入了数十亿美元，但这些企业在 2022 年后市值暴跌。

Fortunes changed again when SoftBank raised some $5 billion listing chip designer Arm in September 2023. The rise in the British firm's share price since has boosted the group's assets, against which SoftBank can take out debt to fund new investment.
2023 年 9 月，软银通过旗下芯片设计公司 Arm 的上市筹集了约 50 亿美元，形势再次逆转。这家英国公司股价随后的上涨提升了集团资产规模，软银可借此进行债务融资以支持新投资。

Son said SoftBank was committed to prudent investment and that, throughout the peaks and troughs, SoftBank has maintained the financial resources and user base such that it can take risks at times.
孙正义表示软银坚持审慎投资原则，并强调无论市场起伏，集团始终保持着足够的财务实力和用户基础，使其能够在适当时机承担风险。

Earlier in June it raised $4.8 billion from the sale of some shares in T-Mobile (TMUS.O), opens new tab.
今年 6 月初，软银通过出售部分 T-Mobile（TMUS.O）股票筹集了 48 亿美元资金。
