SoftBank is considering shifting its AI data center business to other countries.

Facing slowing demand and growing opposition in the U.S. for AI data centers, SoftBank CEO Tadashi Okamura is considering moving to other countries to find growth opportunities. The company's original plan to launch a new AI cloud computing business in the U.S. is now under scrutiny. SoftBank planned to build data centers in the U.S. with a maximum capacity of up to 10GW, but recent political changes and local opposition have forced the company to reassess the prospects of the U.S. market, and it may start operations in other countries first.
