Masayoshi Son is aggressively refocusing SoftBank into an artificial intelligence powerhouse. He is taking a direct, hands-on role in strategy. Son calls this vision the four corners of artificial superintelligence. This framework integrates data centers, AI models, semiconductor chips, and robotics. The approach replaces the previous Vision Fund investment model.
SoftBank stock currently trades at a substantial discount to its net asset value. This pricing reflects market skepticism regarding high-stakes AI bets. Investors also express concern over Son’s increasing control of the group.
Son is committing tens of billions of dollars to OpenAI. He plans to launch a new robotics entity called Roze. These moves follow high-profile losses on previous investments such as WeWork. Son aims to position SoftBank at the epicenter of the AI revolution.
