Since Meta Platforms' (META) founding by Mark Zuckerberg and four of his Harvard classmates in 2004, the company has built a dominant social media ecosystem comprising Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Threads, complemented by its Reality Labs hardware division. Moving beyond its origins in social networking, the enterprise has transformed into a comprehensive artificial intelligence leader, utilizing its massive data resources to fuel AI-driven advertising, advanced AI agents, and custom hardware initiatives via its growing Meta Superintelligence Labs.
