And he says he needs a second mega Vision Fund to make those dreams come true.
"I overestimated Adam's good side" and often "turned a blind eye" to his negative side, "especially when it came to governance," Son said on Wednesday.
Despite the recent massive losses, returns at the Vision Fund overall more than offset last quarter's hemorrhage, according to Son.
When it comes to artificial intelligence and the portfolio companies in the Vision Fund, "we have the same confidence in them," he said.
The Vision Fund closed last month, and held investments in 88 companies as of September 30, according to SoftBank's earnings report.
