AsianFin -- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he’s willing to invest heavily in artificial intelligence to ensure the company doesn’t fall behind in the race for superintelligence.
In an episode of the “Access” podcast published Thursday, Zuckerberg acknowledged that an AI bubble is “quite possible,” citing historical examples of companies that overbuilt, collapsed, and left valuable assets behind. Yet, he argued, the greater risk for Meta is hesitation.
“If we end up misspending a couple of hundred billion dollars, I think that is going to be very unfortunate, obviously,” Zuckerberg said. “But what I’d say is I actually think the risk is higher on the other side.”
He emphasized that moving too slowly could leave a company “out of position” when artificial superintelligence arrives—potentially earlier than expected. “This is going to be the most important technology that enables the most new products, innovation, value creation, and history,” he said, framing AI as a pivotal driver of future growth.
