Masayoshi Son backs robotics, SoftBank commits $87B to AI infrastructure
SoftBank's CEO Masayoshi Son is betting that robotics and physical AI will be the next trillion-dollar game-changer. He says today's AI revolution is "50 times bigger" than the dot-com boom.
To make it happen, SoftBank just announced an $87 billion investment in France to build massive AI infrastructure, including 5 gigawatts of data center power, one of SoftBank's largest AI infrastructure commitments to date.
SoftBank preparing Roze AI $100B IPO
SoftBank has reportedly been preparing a potential $100 billion IPO for Roze AI, a company that automates data centers.
Son isn't worried about talk of an AI bubble: he believes market dips can lead to smart opportunities, just like rebounds after historic crashes.
Thanks to big investments in OpenAI, Arm, and Alibaba, SoftBank has now overtaken Toyota as Japan's most valuable company and looks set to keep leading the tech pack.
