SoftBank Falls Nearly 11% as AI Slowdown Talk Hits Tech Stocks

SoftBank, an OpenAI investor, closed nearly 11% lower in Japan, and South Korea's Kospi index fell 3.3%, CNN reported Sept. 14, after top AI chiefs urged a development slowdown. U.S. tech also slipped Monday on possible AI controls, the Washington Post reported. My concern is if rollout slows while capex — buildout spending — stays high, payoffs may lag.
