孙正义对AI的坚定信念使其将市场对泡沫的质疑斥为侮辱。他正构建一个高度协同的AI生态系统，计划利用由其机器人建造、使用Arm晶片的数据中心，为OpenAI等大语言模型公司提供算力。尽管软银目前的股价较其净资产价值折价约50%，且面临与Arm和OpenAI之间复杂的融资与关联交易争议，孙正义仍拒绝透露其具体战略细节。
随著软银深入关键基础设施，其规模已接近「大到不能倒」的程度，引发监管机构与政商界的关注。孙正义不仅在日本AI战略中扮演核心角色，更在国际舞台上与多国元首及政要建立密切联系。现年68岁的孙正义已修改其原定的退休计划，宣布将继续掌舵10至15年，并立志将软银的净资产价值提升至1000兆日圆。
SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son is betting the company's future on artificial intelligence, pouring billions of dollars into data centers, AI models, chips, and robotics. Driven by the surging share price of chip designer Arm and high expectations for OpenAI's upcoming initial public offering, SoftBank overtook Toyota to become Japan's most valuable company. However, Son's unilateral decision-making style and the group's heavy debt leverage have raised concerns among investors regarding the lack of internal checks and balances.
Son's unwavering belief in AI leads him to dismiss any suggestions of a market bubble as an insult. He is building a highly integrated AI ecosystem, aiming to power large language model companies like OpenAI through data centers built by SoftBank's robots and utilizing Arm-designed chips. Although SoftBank currently trades at a 50 percent discount to its net asset value, and faces scrutiny over complex financing and potential conflicts of interest, Son remains highly secretive about the details of his master plan.
As SoftBank expands into critical infrastructure, its growing scale has led government officials and bankers to describe the company as approaching "too big to fail" status. Son has gained significant political influence both domestically in Japan's AI strategy and on the global stage through relationships with world leaders. Currently 68 years old, Son has pushed back his retirement timeline by another 10 to 15 years, promising to increase SoftBank's net asset value to 1 quadrillion yen.
