Japan’s SoftBank is reportedly planning to invest in OpenAI’s multi-billion dollar funding round.
OpenAI is in discussions to secure US$6.5 billion in funding, which would increase the company's worth to US$150 billion. Microsoft, the leading investor in the artificial intelligence startup, is expected to be involved.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple had stepped back from plans to take part in the funding round.
OpenAI's strategy for raising funds is ushering in a new phase for the commercial use of artificial intelligence, potentially transforming entire sectors and sparking a competition for market supremacy.
Success in this funding round could establish OpenAI as one of the most valuable startups globally and lead to a major shift in the artificial intelligence industry.
This investment is SoftBank's debut in the firm led by Sam Altman, according to the Information report.
Reuters reported on Wednesday that OpenAI is in the process of planning a restructuring of its main operations into a for-profit entity that will no longer be overseen by its non-profit governing board.
