AI, DeepSeek and Zuckerberg
Meta — and the rest of Big Tech — has been chasing face computers for years. Maybe 2025 will be the year it happens?
Midlevel staff are often the first targets of corporate downsizing efforts, but Meta’s plan to replace an entire tier of people with AI is a new wrinkle on an old story.
Meta Platforms Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg defended the company’s ambitious spending plans, predicting a “really big year” in which its artificial intelligence assistant will become the most widely used in the industry.
Chinese startup DeepSeek’s launch of its latest AI models triggered a selloff in global tech stocks this week on concerns about rising AI costs in the US.
Meta’s CEO says its consumer AI offering “is going to be one of the most transformative products that we’ve made.”
Everyone wanted to hear what the Meta boss thinks about the arrival of DeepSeek and the future of AI – this morning he told us.
On Friday, Mark Zuckerberg announced a $60-65 billion investment into Meta AI.
This is going to be a big year,” said Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on his newfound chumminess with the White House and host of technical AI advances.
Meta reported record quarterly revenue and net profit for Q4 2024 as it looks to massively boost spending on AI in 2025.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company plans to up its capital expenditures in 2025 as it aims to keep pace with rivals in the AI space.
"This will be a defining year for AI," Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post. "Over the coming years, it will drive our core products and business."
