The growth of AI applications and cloud services is leading to higher demand for data center capacity and associated infrastructure. According to McKinsey, global investment in AI-related infrastructure could reach $6.7 trillion by 2030. SoftBank itself is involved in several AI infrastructure initiatives, including the US Stargate project."
