Quartalszahlen: Meta investiert mindestens 135 Milliarden Dollar in KI
Facebook-Gründer Mark Zuckerberg lässt den Meta-Konzern gewaltige Summen in KI-Infrastruktur investieren. Das Geld dafür soll das boomende Werbegeschäft liefern.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is set to invest at least $135 billion in expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure this year. The tech giant has increased its spending estimate by $5 billion, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg aggressively expanding AI data centers to compete with industry leaders such as OpenAI, developers of ChatGPT.
Meta's flagship investment in AI accounts for $145 billion, driven primarily by the company's booming advertising business. In the most recent quarter, Meta's earnings surged 26% year-over-year to $64.6 billion, marking a profit of $9.86 billion, a significant turnaround from a loss of $2.7 billion the previous year.
The company's AI investments are supported by the fact that over 3.64 billion users accessed at least one of Meta's apps in the latest reporting period, a figure that remained steady at 3.6 billion just three months prior. The Meta family also includes popular messaging apps WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as Threads, a competing platform to Twitter's successor, X.
