Summary
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son claims the AI revolution is 50 times bigger than the dot-com boom of the 2000s. He made the statement to CNBC in Paris, a day after SoftBank announced a €75 billion ($87 billion) investment in AI infrastructure in France, including 5 GW of AI data center capacity. Son argues that while the dot-com era experienced a painful crash, it was ultimately a small bump in a much larger long-term growth story, and he positions AI as the next and biggest technological revolution.
