Facebook parent Meta wants the world to know it’s serious about artificial intelligence. On its earnings call last week, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said “A.I.” more than 20 times during his opening presentation, and CFO Susan Li said the company expects to spend about $30 this year to support an "ongoing build-out of AI capacity.” Last month, Zuckerberg said the company’s “single largest investment” is in advancing A.I. and “building it into every one of our products.” The White House either didn’t get the message or didn’t take it seriously: Just look at the guest list of CEOs invited to discuss A.I. at the White House yesterday.
Zuckerberg was not included—a glaring omission given Meta’s position in the tech world.
