Still with us on Prime Market Highlights, viewers. Soft Bank Group founder Masa Yoshi Son has regained the title of Japan's richest person after a 4-year hiatus.

Softbank Group founder Masayoshi Sun regains the title of Japan's richest person after a 4-year hiatus.
According to Forbes, his wealth now surpasses the previous record of US$45.4 billion in 2021. He has now surpassed Uniklo founder Tadasiana, who has a wealth of US$46.8 billion based on the real-time billionaires list. This increase was driven by the skyrocketing performance of SoftBank shares amid market optimism about the prospects of artificial intelligence.
Previously, Sanh had held the status of Japan's richest person since 2022 after Softbank shares were depressed due to losses at its Vision FS investment unit. For 4 years, his position at the top of the list of the richest people was replaced by Ianai who consistently posted stable performance. Now the positive trend in the AI sector has returned S to the top spot with a significant wealth gap.
Meanwhile, Softbank is now focusing on pouring funds into AI-related companies, especially Open AI, the creator of GPT chat. This move attracted investor interest because Open AI is a private company that is difficult for the public to access directly. With this strategy, Softbank is positioned for more aggressive growth in the era of the artificial intelligence technology boom.

The company plans to raise funds by stopping payments to employee pension plans. Kodak CEO Jim Kontinenza claims the company remains optimistic it can repay most of its loans before they mature despite the difficult business climate.
Kodak shares plunged nearly 20% in Tuesday trading after the news broke. The company, founded in 1892, once controlled up to 90% of film sales and 85% of camera sales in the United States at the peak of its success in the 1970s. However, its failure to anticipate the digital photography era caused its position to plummet in the global market.
Kodak previously filed for bankruptcy in 2012 with debts reaching US$6.75 billion and more than 100,000 creditors. The company had a resurgence in 2020 when the United States government supported it as a pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturer. To this day, Kodak continues to produce chemical films for the film industry.

Yes, the giant technology company Antropik has officially acquired the Human Loop team to strengthen its position in the global cooperative or cooperative market segment.
Antropic acquired three human loop cofounders along with about a dozen engineers and researchers skilled in the development of prom management tools, AI model evaluation and observability.

This strategic move is seen as an effort to enhance Antropik's capabilities in offering enterprise-based AI services . While Antropic does not purchase human loop assets or intellectual property, the company believes the greatest value lies in the knowledge and experience of its team. Human Loop itself has built a reputation with enterprise clients such as Duolingo, Gusto, and Fenta in developing and evaluating robust and secure AI applications.
This capability is considered very much in line with the anthropic mission which prioritizes the development of security and compliance-based AI . The timing of this acquisition coincides with the launch of new features by Anthropic for enterprise customers including extended Windows context capacity and expanded modal capabilities.
Antropic also reached an agreement with the US Central Government Purchasing Agency to sell AI services for just $1 per agency in the first year. The move is seen as a maneuver to rival similar offerings from open AI and strengthen its appeal in both the public and private sectors. Human Loop was founded in 2020 as a spin-out from University College London and raised US$7.91 million in seed funding.
Human Loop CEO Raza Habib, who is now joining Antropic, stated that Antropic's commitment to security is completely aligned with their vision. By strengthening the Tuling ecosystem and its reliable development team , Antrovic is expected to become increasingly resilient in the global AI competition.
