SoftBanks Ambitious Plan for a Trillion-Dollar AI and Robotics Hub in Arizona

Just a few months after announcing its participation in the $500 billion project, Stargate AI, which, according to reports, will see SoftBank invest $19 billion, the Japanese investment conglomerate is said to be planning to initiate its largest AI project to date.

The company aims to collaborate with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to establish a $1 trillion industrial complex in Arizona dedicated to artificial intelligence and robotics, as per a Bloomberg report citing sources.

Named Project Crystal Land, this initiative appears to be in its very early stages. While SoftBank is eager to partner with TSMC on this venture, it remains unclear what role TSMC will play and whether it is even interested in collaborating with SoftBank, given that TSMC already has its own AI infrastructure projects planned in Arizona.

SoftBank has declined to comment.
