Hey Amy, I heard Meta is spending a lot of money on AI. What's that all about?

That's right, Sam! Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, is investing heavily in artificial intelligence for the future.

Wow, that sounds expensive. Are they making money from it?

Actually, they're not expecting to make money from it right away. They're thinking long-term, like planning for the next few years.

Really? What are they planning to do with all this AI stuff?

Well, they're working on something called Llama 4, which is a really powerful AI model. They want it to be the most advanced in the world next year.

Llama? That's a funny name! But why do they need such a powerful AI?

Good question! They're using AI to make Facebook and Instagram more interesting for users. It helps recommend videos and posts you might like.

Oh, I see. Is that why I keep seeing cat videos on my feed?

Haha, possibly! But they have even bigger plans. In the future, they think AI could change how advertising works on their platforms.

Change advertising? How would that work?

Well, they imagine that one day, businesses might just tell the AI what they want to achieve and how much money they want to spend. Then the AI would create the whole ad campaign for them!

That's pretty cool! But it sounds like it might take a while to get there.

You're right, it will take time. That's why Meta is investing so much money now, even though they won't make a profit from it immediately.

I get it now. They're thinking ahead, like planting seeds for the future.

Exactly, Sam! It's like building a big, fancy house. It takes a lot of time and money, but once it's done, it could be amazing.
