孙正义，软银集团的掌舵人，近日被曝出正在酝酿一项宏伟计划——筹集1000亿美元，用于打造一家人工智能芯片公司，以期在AI领域与英伟达等巨头分庭抗礼。这一消息在周五由媒体援引知情人士透露，引发了业界的广泛关注。孙正义的目标不仅限于与英伟达竞争，他还希望新公司能在业务上与软银旗下的ARM公司形成互补，共同在半导体领域开拓新的疆域。
如果成功，这将是自ChatGPT问世以来，人工智能领域最大的一笔投资，其规模远超微软公司对OpenAI的超过10亿美元投资。据报道，孙正义曾与OpenAI的联合创始人Sam Altman讨论过联合建立半导体制造业务的可能性，但目前看来，孙正义的项目与Altman的雄心壮志并不完全一致。
无论结果如何，这一消息无疑为人工智能和半导体行业注入了新的活力，也预示着未来在这一领域的激烈竞争将更加白热化。
