Meta has reached AI ‘frontier,’ Zuckerberg says
Meta released its latest Muse model on Monday, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his company had reached the “frontier” of AI capabilities. “Getting to this point both required a large amount of compute and investment,” Zuckerberg told the Financial Times, vowing to spend more. The tech giant last year invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI, whose founder became Meta’s AI chief. Muse is now the most downloaded app in the US, prompting OpenAI to unveil a competitor agent tool. Zuckerberg, who helped craft the White House’s self-regulation protocol, also rejected calls to slow development, underscoring the split among Big Tech executives over safety: Milk cartons are more “subject to safety rules” than AI, Microsoft’s president told the BBC.
