Supersmart Robots Will Outnumber Humans Within 30 Years, Says SoftBank CEO

The Wall Street Journal reports:
In his speech, Mr. Son said that while average humans had an IQ of roughly 100 and that geniuses such as Albert Einsten were believed to score around 200, superintelligent computers would have IQs of 10,000. He said computer chips possessing superintelligence would be put into robots big and small that can fly and swim. These robots will number in the billions and would be greater than the human population within 30 years, he said.

The chips would also be in everyday objects. “One of the chips in our shoes will be smarter than our brain,” he said. “We will be less than our shoes, and we will be stepping on them.”
