Billionaire Masayoshi Son's company said it priced two dollar tranches Thursday totaling $900 million and two euro tranches raising €900 million ($964 million). SoftBank said the funds will be used to retire debt and fund operations. SoftBank and its founder Son have made major AI investments recently that underscore expectations they will quicken their pace of activity in that area. The Japanese firm this year directly invested $200 million into Tempus AI Inc., a startup that analyzes medical data for doctors and patients to come up with better treatments. More recently, it backed Perplexity AI at a $3 billion valuation, betting on a firm that aims to use AI to compete with Alphabet Inc.'s Google search. Longer term, SoftBank's working on a plan to deploy some $100 billion into AI-related chips in a project dubbed Izanagi, Bloomberg News reported in February. --With assistance from Min Jeong Lee. ©2024 Bloomberg L.P.
