Davos | San Francisco | SoftBank is in talks to invest as much as $US25 billion ($40 billion) into OpenAI, in a deal which would make it the ChatGPT maker’s biggest financial backer, as the pair partner on a massive new artificial intelligence infrastructure project.
The two companies announced last week they would lead a joint venture that would spend $US100 billion on Stargate – a sprawling data centre project touted by US President Donald Trump – with the figure rising to as much as $US500 billion over the next four years.
