According to a report by Bloomberg cited by Phoenix Technology, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated in the podcast "Cheeky Pint" aired on Monday that the company had to commit to investing about $100 billion or $200 billion in infrastructure last year when it was still unclear whether AI products could succeed. He said, "We can't be sure either."Zuckerberg recalled that he had asked Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang if he was certain of success. Wang stated that aside from "intuitive judgment," there was no guarantee of success, and at that time it was "completely uncertain." Chief Financial Officer Susan Li repeatedly warned that the cost of failure would be extremely high, and Zuckerberg told Wang, "I think Susan scared you quite a bit."On Monday, Meta released a new AI model, claiming a significant leap in performance and possessing "cutting-edge capabilities." Management stated that it could compete with ChatGPT and Claude in programming and financial and legal issues. Meta also launched a personalized intelligent agent called Muse for shopping, ticket booking, and appointments. Zuckerberg mentioned that he was uncertain about consumer reactions and expected further iterations. Meta will announce its third-quarter financial report after the U.S. stock market closes on October 21. Last quarter, free cash flow fell to its lowest level in years, and the stock price dropped by 8%, but as of Monday's close, it has risen over 12% this year.

According to the Financial Times, Mark Zuckerberg stated that Meta Platforms (META.O) has reached the "cutting edge" of artificial intelligence and rejected calls to slow down development.

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that technology companies agree to establish "strong" internal controls and conduct multi-layered audits on artificial intelligence.

Meta Platforms (META.O) CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the company is launching the next major pillar of its business—Meta Business Platform.

Meta's stock price soared nearly 12% on September 21 local time, with its founder Mark Zuckerberg's net worth estimated at $253.6 billion (approximately 1.7 trillion yuan), a single-day increase of $25 billion (approximately 167.458 billion yuan).The rise in Meta's stock price is attributed to Wells Fargo raising its target price, combined with investor confidence in the development prospects of its personal AI assistant Muse. On September 21 local time, Wells Fargo raised the stock's target price from $640 to $796 and maintained an overweight rating in anticipation of the Meta Connect conference taking place later this week. The usage statistics of Muse are considered a key indicator that needs attention.

Zuckerberg stated that every lab has the responsibility and incentive to train models safely at the required speed and has the capability to take action independently. People will not use agents that are not aligned with them or do not act as required, so labs have a strong natural incentive to enhance model alignment. Trust and alignment are rapidly becoming the most important capabilities that distinguish agents from models, and any lab that does not focus on alignment will fall behind.Zuckerberg indicated that labs will face significant liability if their models cause harm, thus there is a strong incentive to prevent this. Meta has postponed the release of Muse by several months to focus on safety and security, and has not asked other labs to follow suit, but rather considers it part of their daily work. Hiring independent evaluators and consultants is an industry best practice, and MSL has been doing this in multiple areas. Allocating most computing power to serve people rather than competing for recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to ensure the safe development of this technology, and Meta has made this commitment.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concerns about the plan to establish a national AI regulatory agency during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump last month. The proposal, advocated by Google DeepMind scientist Demis Hassabis and supported by some White House officials, aims to create an independent organization similar to FINRA to review and test potential risks before the broader deployment of advanced AI models. White House officials previewed the proposal to Trump and major tech companies, including Meta, in mid-August.Trump spoke with Zuckerberg during the week of August 17. According to senior White House officials familiar with the conversation, Zuckerberg opposed the proposal. Another informed source indicated that Zuckerberg did not ask Trump to change his position but told him that the personnel of the regulatory agency the White House might appoint should reflect Trump's light-touch approach to AI, noting that Trump made the call first. The conversation did not kill the idea, which is still under consideration. A Meta spokesperson declined to comment. A White House spokesperson stated that the Trump administration is committed to balancing innovation and safety in AI policymaking.In an article in August, Zuckerberg expressed skepticism about strict government regulation of new AI models, arguing that any policy that delays the release of models by even a month would pose significant risks to the U.S. leadership position relative to China. The government is considering a FINRA-like regulatory agency or a voluntary industry organization similar to the Motion Picture Association of America. Trump's former AI and crypto czar, David Sachs, opposed government regulatory agencies, calling them "the DMV of AI." Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark expressed support for the FINRA-like idea in a post in July.

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg elaborated on a new vision for artificial intelligence in a 6,500-word article.

According to reports from two Meta employees cited by The New York Times, Mark Zuckerberg has instructed a small internal team to develop an independent prediction market application codenamed "Arena," which will operate separately from existing products like Facebook and Instagram.The initial design uses a game-like points system instead of real money betting, but the possibility of introducing real money models in the future has not been ruled out. Following the announcement, the stock prices of Robinhood and DraftKings fell in early trading this week. Meta's applications have 3.56 billion daily active users, and their distribution scale far exceeds the total of all existing prediction market platforms; if they officially enter the market, it will directly impact crypto-native platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi.The prediction market is currently in a rapid growth phase, with Polymarket's trading volume surpassing $10 billion for the first time in March this year. On the regulatory front, the CFTC is engaged in litigation regarding federal jurisdiction over prediction markets and state-level betting laws. Meta's points system design temporarily sidesteps this issue, but its scale means that any shift towards real money betting will immediately become a significant regulatory event.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, requesting him to disclose Meta's latest plans in the stablecoin sector and expressing concerns about its recent push for stablecoin payment integration.Warren stated that the transparency of Meta's stablecoin project is deeply concerning, especially considering the widespread regulatory controversies that arose from its earlier launch of the Libra (later renamed Diem) global stablecoin initiative. She asserted that Meta's new attempts in the payment and financial services sector should be subject to careful scrutiny. Warren demanded that Meta clarify the details of its stablecoin pilot program by May 20, including the launch timeline, the third-party stablecoins involved, and related privacy and risk control measures. It is reported that Meta has been testing USDC-based stablecoin payment functionality with select content creators in the Philippines and Colombia since April. Currently, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is reviewing the digital asset market structure bill known as the CLARITY Act, where the regulatory framework for stablecoins and issues of conflicts of interest remain contentious points. As a senior Democratic member of the committee, Warren has long held a cautious stance on large tech companies' involvement in crypto finance.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Mark Zuckerberg, requesting more information from Meta regarding its latest stablecoin plan and criticizing the company's "lack of transparency" in related business as concerning.In her letter, Elizabeth Warren stated that given Meta's vast global user base, any stablecoin-related business could have a significant impact on market competition, user privacy, the integrity of payment systems, and financial stability. Previously disclosed information indicated that Facebook has been testing stablecoin payment features for certain creators in Colombia and the Philippines, with the plan based on USD Coin (USDC), requiring users to link a third-party crypto wallet address. A Meta spokesperson responded that the company "does not have a Meta stablecoin," and currently only hopes that users and merchants can use various payment methods, including third-party stablecoins, on the platform. Notably, Meta launched the stablecoin project Libra (later renamed Diem) in 2019, but ultimately terminated it in 2022 due to regulatory pressure. Warren has long been one of the toughest critics of cryptocurrency in the U.S. Congress and has repeatedly questioned Meta's stablecoin plans.

According to a report by WSJ cited by Jinshi, U.S. President Trump plans to appoint several business giants to a technology committee, including Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. These members will provide opinions on artificial intelligence policies and other topics.According to White House officials, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) will be co-chaired by the White House's AI and cryptocurrency advisor Sax and technology advisor Michael Kratsios.Officials stated that Trump plans to appoint the first 13 members from the industry on Wednesday, including Google co-founder Sergey Brin. According to an executive order, the committee could ultimately include 24 members.

According to a report by the WSJ, Meta Platforms (META.O) CEO Mark Zuckerberg hopes that everyone inside and outside the company will eventually have their own personal AI agent, starting with himself. According to insiders, Zuckerberg is developing a CEO agent to help him manage work affairs.The agent is still in development and is helping Zuckerberg access information more quickly. For example, it retrieves responses that would typically require layers of communication to obtain. The use of AI tools has rapidly spread within Meta, partly because it has now become a consideration in employee performance evaluations.Insiders revealed that Meta's internal message board is filled with employees sharing newly discovered AI cases and the new tools they are building with AI. Employees have begun using personal agent tools like My Claw, which can access their chat histories and work documents and communicate on their behalf with colleagues (or their colleagues' personal agents). There is even a group on the internal message board where employee personal agents communicate with each other.
