Meta Plans to Double Its Investments in Artificial Intelligence to $135 Billion
Meta has announced its intention to double its investments in artificial intelligence to reach $135 billion by 2026, as part of its effort to develop what it describes as “super personal AI,” according to the Financial Times.
This direction follows the company’s announcement of its fourth-quarter results for 2025, which showed an 8% growth, despite Meta spending over $72 billion last year to enhance its infrastructure in artificial intelligence and attract talent from competing firms.
CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that Meta’s results from the past year were primarily driven by investments in artificial intelligence, expressing his expectation for greater acceleration in this field throughout 2026.
Zuckerberg’s remarks and the company’s plans come at a time when several experts and prominent figures in the technology sector are warning about the potential for an investment bubble in artificial intelligence, as highlighted in a BBC report.
This is not the first time Meta has focused its investments on a specific sector; it heavily bet on virtual reality in recent years before partially scaling back its activities in this area this year.
