Quartalszahlen: Meta investiert 135 Milliarden Dollar in KI – und schafft neue Aktienklasse
Facebook-Gründer Mark Zuckerberg beschleunigt seine Wette auf den KI-Boom. Das Geld für die gigantischen Ausgaben soll das florierende Werbegeschäft liefern – und eine neue Anteilsklasse.
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, has reaffirmed Meta's commitment to artificial intelligence (AI). Meta, the company that owns Facebook, is set to invest at least $135 billion in expanding its AI infrastructure this year, Zuckerberg announced on Wednesday during the release of the quarterly earnings. The company has raised the lower end of its spending forecast by $5 billion, with a potential maximum investment of $145 billion.
Zuckerberg is aggressively building expensive AI data centers to compete with leaders like OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and Anthropic, a startup backed by Amazon. The money for AI expansion continues to come from the company's booming advertising business. Last quarter, Meta increased its revenue compared to the previous year by 26 percent to $64.6 billion. Overall, Meta reported a profit of $9.8 billion (up from a loss of $2.7 billion a year ago).
