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.

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.

Exploring Meta’s Strategic Gamble on AR and VR Technologies
Meta’s investment in virtual and augmented reality technologies is set to exceed $100 billion, marking a significant commitment by CEO Mark Zuckerberg to innovate beyond traditional computing platforms. Since acquiring Oculus in 2014, Meta has developed products like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and Quest VR headsets. While the smart glasses achieved modest success, the VR headsets have not reached mainstream popularity. 2025 is poised as a pivotal year for Meta, with Zuckerberg focusing on AR glasses that could diminish the company’s dependency on Apple and Google for app distribution. Despite generating $10.1 billion in revenue since 2019, Reality Labs continues to operate at a loss, underscoring the financial risks of Meta’s strategy. However, the firm’s profitable online advertising business supports its ongoing investments in these emerging technologies.
