In view of the forecasted slowdown in the growth of the U.S. labor force, the SoftBank Group believes that the \"industrial park concept\" can be implemented through<strong>Efficient use of AI and robotics<\/strong>, which will create room for significant contributions to the development of U.S. manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>In January, Masayoshi Son, along with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others, announced that they would be spending $500 billion on AI infrastructure.

Hon Hai was previously commissioned to produce \"Pepper,\" a humanoid robot developed by SoftBank Group, and the two companies have a close working relationship. In the \"Stargate\" AI infrastructure project promoted by SoftBank Group and OpenAI, Hon Hai may be the exclusive supplier of AI servers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the SoftBank Group is still midway through its \"Stargate\" data center initiative. The plan proposes that four companies will bear the capital of 10-20%, with the rest to be financed through debt. The actual site and construction framework is yet to be finalized. The scale of the AI robotics factory plan is even larger, and customer acquisition and large financing are still uncertain.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACCORDING TO THE DAILY NEWS, MARCH 28, THE SOFT SILVER GROUP IS PLANNING AN INDUSTRIAL PARK PROJECT TO BUILD A CENTRALIZED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PLANT IN THE UNITED STATES.
