Zuckerberg: I'd rather waste hundreds of billions of dollars than fall behind in AI.

Jinse Finance reported that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated he is willing to invest significant funds to ensure the company does not fall behind in the AI field. In a podcast aired on Thursday, he said that an AI bubble is "very likely" to occur, but for Meta, the bigger risk is hesitation. "If we end up wasting hundreds of billions of dollars, I think that would obviously be very unfortunate. But what I want to say is, I actually think the risk on the other side is higher." If a company develops too slowly and artificial superintelligence arrives earlier than expected, then it will "be at a disadvantage in what I consider the most important technology, a technology that will enable most new products, innovation, value creation, and history." Zuckerberg added, "The risk, at least for a company like Meta, may be not being aggressive enough, rather than being a bit too aggressive."
