SoftBank seeks $100 billion from Gulf investors for AI push

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

SoftBank is looking to raise roughly $100 billion from investors in the Gulf to fund a major expansion of its artificial intelligence investments. The Japanese technology group, led by Masayoshi Son, is reportedly courting sovereign wealth funds in the region as it doubles down on AI. The scale of the ask has drawn attention, reviving debate over Son's history of high-stakes bets and the Gulf's growing role as a financier of the global AI race.

Why now: SoftBank's unusually large fundraising plan highlights how aggressively tech investors are chasing AI, with Gulf sovereign wealth funds as key backers.
