SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son revealed on Tuesday that he is a ‘heavy user’ of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Son also informed that he was speaking to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman ‘almost everyday’.

According to ReutersSam Altman has visited Japan twice in recent months in a bid to capitalize on the interest surrounding generative AI and have an important role in the regulation of the technology around the world.

“I am chatting with ChatGPT everyday – I am a heavy user,” Masayoshi Son told the shareholder’s of SoftBank Group’s telecom subsidiary.

According to BloombergMasayoshi Son has not made any public appearance in the last seven months and is slated to do so at the SoftBank Group annual shareholder meeting today.

Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is on a world tour in a bid to urge politicians to draft a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence technology.

Last month, OpenAI argued for the need for an international body similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency to regulate artificial intelligence. The company argues that AI systems in the next ten years could have expert skills in most domains and could do tasks productively akin to the largest corporations today.

During his visit to Tokyo this month, Altman shared optimism about global cooperation on the existential risks posed by AI, he was quoted by Reuters as saying, “I came to the trip … skeptical that it was going to be possible in the short term to get global cooperation to reduce existential risk but I am now wrapping up the trip feeling quite optimistic we can get it done,”

Questions have been asked about the risks posed by new age artificial intelligence technologies since the launch of Chat GPT in November last year. The OpenAI chatbot is capable of writing poems, solving mathematical equations, writing codes and much more with just a simple prompt.

Soon afterwards, Microsoft also launched its own chatbot and embedded it in the company’s search engine Bing. Search giant Google also opened access to its generative AI-based chatbot. Bard and has since been working to improve the product.
