SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son plans to announce a $100 billion investment in US artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure during a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump. The initiative aims to create 100,000 jobs over the next four years and will focus on areas such as semiconductor manufacturing, data centers, and energy production infrastructure. The investment will draw capital from SoftBank's existing Vision Fund and new projects. Son's ultimate goal is to develop artificial superintelligence (ASI), with a focus on AI chips powering robots and data centers that can solve complex problems like curing cancer. SoftBank is returning to a more aggressive investment strategy, prioritizing AI and acknowledging the risks involved.
