NEXT STEPS IN AI
Zuckerberg Optimistic about AI as Meta Stocks Ride the AI Wave

Has anyone had a better year than Mark Zuckerberg in the last 12 months? After Meta's stock price plummeted to nearly $90 at the end of 2022, the company announced yesterday impressive quarterly results that lifted its shares to a record $451 after-market close, raising its market capitalization from $148 billion to $1.16 trillion.

But Zuckerberg seems to be just getting started. Meta's CEO struck an optimistic tone outlining his vision for the future of Meta's AI products and services.

For months, tech giants have been vying for access to Nvidia's limited chip supply needed to power their AI models. However, the chips are expensive, costing up to $30,000 each. And Meta is playing to win.

In addition to the 600,000 high-quality chips (or equivalents) Meta plans to secure by year-end, the company is also reportedly on track to deploy its in-house chip called Artemis, which will reduce Meta's reliance on Nvidia and potentially save billions in chip and energy costs for the company.

The world's largest social media company is also aggressively investing in new data centers with advanced designs optimized for AI computing, presumably built to house its new AI chips.

From its open-source AI models to AI-powered sunglasses and celebrity chatbots, the company behind Facebook and Instagram has positioned itself as an AI powerhouse. As a sign of growing confidence, Meta also announced its first stock dividend of $0.50 per share and additional share buybacks worth $50 billion, potentially indicating that the company expects its stock price to grow even further in the coming months.
