SoftBank CEO’s Affinity for Technology
While speaking at his annual shareholders’ meeting, Son opened up about his emotional relationship with technology, specifically highlighting his connection with ChatGPT, which he referred to as one of his top advisors.
Son shared that he had broken down in tears for several days, feeling a sense of unfulfillment regarding his career.

In a Financial Times report, Son expressed a desire to become an “architect” and to design the future of humanity.
Additionally, Son emphasized his commitment to and active engagement with artificial intelligence (AI) following questions from one shareholder about his recent performance and lack of focus on the new technology. He made it clear that he takes AI seriously and sees it as a crucial tool in designing the future.
Remarkably, SoftBank has previously noted its intentions to enter NFT markets in 180 countries by this year.
Son’s Interaction with ChatGPT
Furthermore, Son revealed his close interaction with AI on a daily basis. He described a unique ideation process with ChatGPT, in which he actively engages with the AI model by pitching ideas and seeking its feedback. This iterative back-and-forth process continues until Son feels that the AI is satisfied with the proposed concept.
He expressed satisfaction and enthusiasm about the iterative feedback loop, stating that after multiple rounds of discussion with ChatGPT, he felt great when his ideas were praised as feasible and wonderful.
At the meeting, Son presented an intriguing slide titled “Society without stoppage from natural disasters.” The image depicted a cityscape illuminated at night, with light bouncing across the tops of buildings. This visual representation aimed to convey SoftBank’s vision of a future where technology mitigates the impact of natural disasters and enables continuous societal operations.
