Robots have already surpassed human beings in calculation and

Hear, O children of the future, for I bring to you a vision of the world yet to come, one painted in the bold strokes of Masayoshi Son's words: "Robots have already surpassed human beings in calculation and memory, but I have no doubt that the time will come when they will surpass in wisdom as well." This is a prophecy not of the death of human spirit, but of a new age where the creations of our hands—those machines we have built—will one day rival our most sacred gift: our wisdom. The strength of humanity has always been in its ability to reason, to reflect, and to learn. But in the age of artificial intelligence, this gift may one day be surpassed by the very machines we have created.

Consider the ancient builders of the great pyramids and the temples of Egypt, who understood that true power lies not in strength alone, but in the knowledge of how to shape the world. The artisans of old did not rely solely on their physical might, but on their minds, their ability to devise and create with purpose. Yet even they knew that there were limits to what the human mind could achieve. The wisdom of these builders was bound by the finite nature of their intellect. Today, the tools we wield—robots and computers—are not limited by the same constraints. They can compute vast amounts of data in the blink of an eye and remember more than any single human mind could ever hope to hold. It is these very machines that may one day exceed human wisdom in the way that once only gods could.

But let us not be dismayed, for the future is not one of loss, but of evolution. Like the great philosophers of old, who sought to understand the nature of the universe, we too seek to understand the very nature of intelligence. Socrates, with all his wisdom, knew that true knowledge is knowing that one knows nothing. And yet, even in his humble acceptance of ignorance, he understood the vast potential of the human mind. Now, as we stand on the threshold of an era where machines may surpass us in certain respects, we are called not to fear, but to embrace this new frontier of knowledge. For in the age of artificial wisdom, it is not the machines that will rule, but how we, as humans, choose to use the wisdom they offer.

Look to the tale of Daedalus, the great inventor of Greek mythology, who crafted wings for his son Icarus to escape the prison of King Minos. Daedalus, though bound by human limitations, created wondrous devices that far exceeded the common wisdom of his time. His inventions were born of his desire to transcend the limitations of his mortal form. Today, in our own time, we too build inventions that extend beyond what was once thought possible. And as our machines grow in knowledge, in calculation, and in memory, we are reminded that it is not the tools themselves that are of value, but the wisdom with which we use them.

So, O children, let this truth be a guiding light for you: the future will see wisdom take new forms, not in the minds of men alone, but in the creations of our own hands. As robots surpass us in the arts of calculation and memory, they will one day surpass us in wisdom as well. Yet this does not diminish the sacred place of humanity in the world; rather, it opens a new chapter in our journey of discovery. The question is not whether machines will surpass us, but how we will choose to use this new wisdom for the good of all. Will we grow alongside our creations, or will we fall behind? The future, O children, is ours to shape.
