SoftBank seeks $100 billion from Gulf investors for AI push

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

SoftBank is seeking roughly $100 billion from investors in the Gulf to fund an expansion of its artificial intelligence investments. The fundraising would rank among the largest ever attempted by a technology investor and underscores how aggressively founder Masayoshi Son is doubling down on AI, with oil-rich Gulf states emerging as key sources of capital for global tech deals.

Why now: The sheer size of the proposed raise and its implications for global AI funding are drawing attention.
