META--
Meta Superintelligence Labs will be divided into four groups, each focusing on different aspects of AI development. Nat Friedman will oversee product efforts, while Rob Fergus will lead the research team. The company is investing heavily in infrastructure and talent to support these ambitious goals.
This move comes as Meta continues to see strong growth in its AI-driven ad revenue. In the second quarter of 2025, Meta reported a 21% year-over-year surge in ad revenue, reaching $46.56 billion, driven by AI-powered tools that optimized ad delivery and user engagement [2]. The company's AI capabilities have significantly enhanced its ad services, leading to better recommendations and higher ad pricing.
Despite the challenges posed by regulatory risks in Europe, investors remain optimistic about Meta's high-margin growth and AI innovation. The company's strategic shift toward "personal superintelligence" is reshaping investor expectations and the tech sector's risk/reward dynamics.
Meta's investment in AI infrastructure and top talent recruitment highlights its long-term ambitions, despite the potential risks associated with high burn rates in Reality Labs. The company is proving that its investments in AI are paying off with very strong revenue growth and the unlocking of potential profits in the long run.
