Meta Platforms Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg exuded confidence in his company’s artificial intelligence strategy, saying 2025 will be a “really big year” in which its AI assistant will become the most widely used in the industry.

Microsoft alone is projecting $80 billion of infrastructure spend for data centers in 2025; meanwhile, OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are leading the newly announced Stargate initiative under President Trump -- a project aiming to invest $500 billion into AI frameworks over the coming years.

In AI, I expect that this is going to be the year when a highly intelligent and personalized AI assistant reaches more than 1 billion people,” Zuckerberg said on a call with investors following the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report.
