San Francisco:
Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday that the tech giant is planning to invest at least $ 60 billion in artificial intelligence in 2025, aimed at leading technology.
“This will be a decisive year for AI,” Zuckerberg said in a message on his Facebook page.
Zuckerberg expects Meta AI to be the best digital assistant, which is used by more than a billion people, and for Lama 4 of the technology company that, according to the post, will be paramount in AI models.
Meta creates an AI “engineer” to contribute computer coding to its research and development efforts, he explained.
Meta will build a huge new data center to provide its AI ambitions with power and, according to Zuckerberg, $ 60 billion in $ 60 billion in $ 65 billion in capital expenditure is planned.
“This is a huge effort, and in the coming years it will stimulate our core products and companies, unlock historical innovation and expand the leadership of American technology,” he said.
The post comes just a few days after US President Donald Trump has announced a major investment to build infrastructure for artificial intelligence led by the Japanese gigantic softbank and chatgpt-maker OpenAi.
Trump said the company, called Stargate, “invests at least $ 500 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States.”
But in a message on his social media platform X, Trump Ally and Tech Tycoon Elon Musk said that the most important investors “don't have the money.”
The remark meant a rare copy of a split between the world's richest man and Trump, in which Musk played a key role in the newly installed administration after spending $ 270 million in the election campaign.
Microsoft President Brad Smith has since been admitted and said that the company was this tax year at pace to invest around $ 80 billion to expand AI data centers, train AI models and to implement cloud-based applications around the world.
“The United States are ready to be paramount in this new wave of technology, especially when it doubles over its strengths and effective partners internationally,” Smith said in an online post.
