Masayoshi Son Extends SoftBank Leadership by 10 Years to Pursue AI Robotics

Summary
68-year-old Masayoshi Son said he will stay atop SoftBank for another decade or more, abandoning his long-standing plan to step down in his sixties.
AI is driving the reversal: Son said he wants to speed the spread of artificial intelligence and turn SoftBank into the world’s leading AI-powered robotics company.
The decision keeps the founder in direct control of the Japanese technology group as it sharpens its long-term strategy around AI rather than a leadership handover.
