SoftBank posts $7 billion loss as AI business falters
Global technology investor SoftBank Group said it would tone down its aggressive drive to profit from artificial intelligence after posting a $7.1 billion loss in the latest quarter, its first fall into the red in almost two years.
Much of the loss was due to $3.7 billion in fees that SoftBank took on for equipment related to power generation for AI data center projects in the United States, as well as falling stock prices of companies such as Coupanga South Korean e-commerce site.
