AI-Powered Advertising | Meta’s Next Big Bet
Meta is advancing its AI-powered advertising tools, aiming to allow brands to create entire ads—including visuals, text, and targeting—from scratch using AI by the end of 2025. This move aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vision to automate advertising and reduce reliance on traditional creative teams, especially benefiting small and midsize businesses. However, concerns remain among larger brands about quality control and Meta’s growing influence over ad creation. Other tech giants, including Google, are also racing to develop similar AI ad tools.

Apple faces a defining moment. Once the leader in integrating hardware, software, and services, it now lags in AI—an area increasingly shaping the future of tech. While rivals like Google, Meta, OpenAI, and Microsoft continue to push the boundaries with generative AI tools, Apple has been slower to act, leading to questions about its direction.

AI’s Momentum Is Slowing — Even at the Top
Meta’s much-hyped “Behemoth” large language model has hit a wall. Initially slated for release this April, the model’s launch has now been delayed until fall or later. And Meta isn’t alone, OpenAI’s GPT-5 has slipped far past its expected timeline, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Opus is still unreleased. Building the next frontier of AI is proving more complex, expensive, and slower than the industry expected.
