Softbank is developing a Japanese version of ChatGPT, which is expected to be launched next year.

  Softbank is actively involved in the research and development of AI-related technologies, and its CEO Sun Zhengyi once boasted that "if you can't embrace AI, you will lose the future".

  At present, Softbank is designing "Japanese ChatGPT" and it is expected to launch this AI product next year. In order to achieve this goal, Softbank will set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, SB Intuitions, focusing on training generative AI. At the same time, Softbank also plans to cooperate with Microsoft to accelerate the landing process of related technologies and provide a series of credible generative AI services for Japanese companies.

  According to reports, Softbank currently has a team of about 1,000 people working on the development of "Japanese version of ChatGPT". Sun Zhengyi said that he chats with ChatGPT every day and has talked with Sam altman, CEO of OpenAI.

  Altman has visited Tokyo many times this year, and he hopes to make use of people's interest in generative AI to promote this emerging technology to have more influence on a global scale. At the shareholders' meeting on June 21st this year, Sun Zhengyi showed a slide entitled "Evolution Speed", showing a chart of human evolution. He said that in the next few years, due to the development of artificial intelligence, the evolution speed of human beings will suddenly rise, and the slope is close to the vertical line.
