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

SoftBank is seeking $100 billion from investors in the Gulf region to fund an expansion of its artificial intelligence investments. The Japanese technology conglomerate, led by Masayoshi Son, has been aggressively repositioning itself around AI, and the fundraising talks with Middle Eastern sovereign wealth and state-backed investors underscore how Gulf money is becoming a central source of capital for the global AI boom.

Why now: The scale of the proposed raise and SoftBank's high-profile AI strategy make it major tech and finance news.
