SoftBank seeks $100 billion from Gulf investors for AI push

Original: SoftBank seeks $100B from Gulf investors to expand AI bet

SoftBank is seeking to raise around $100 billion from investors in the Gulf to fund an expanded bet on artificial intelligence. The Japanese group, led by Masayoshi Son, has been chasing large-scale AI investments, and sovereign wealth funds in the Gulf are among the few sources with capital on that scale, making the talks a focal point for tech and finance watchers.

Why now: The scale of the fundraising and SoftBank's aggressive AI ambitions highlight how Gulf sovereign wealth is bankrolling the global AI race.
