Meta is seeking nuclear energy developers to power its AI and sustainability goals. The company said in a blog post it's targeting delivery of the project in the early 2030s.
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META, ETR:FB2A, SWX:FB) plans to go nuclear in the next decade, to meet massive electricity demands for its artificial intelligence data centres. Mark Zuckerberg's social media and tech giant has reportedly issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking developers to establish between one and four gigawatts of nuclear power capacity by the early 2030s.
Meta said on Tuesday it is seeking proposals from nuclear power developers to help meet its artificial intelligence and environment goals, becoming the latest big tech company to take interest in atomic power amid an expected boom in power demand.
Meta on Tuesday said fears that artificial intelligence would unleash a torrent of misinformation to deceive voters around the world did not come true as elections played out around the world this year.
Meta Platforms, Inc. continues to show impressive performance. The potential TikTok ban in the U.S. could boost Meta's short-form video market share, adding billions in additional revenue. Favorable macro conditions and a dominant position in the digital advertising market suggest Meta will sustain double-digit growth and create shareholder value in the years ahead.
At the start of the year, there were widespread concerns about how generative AI could be used to interfere in global elections to spread propaganda and disinformation. Fast forward to the end of the year, Meta claims those fears did not play out, at least on its platforms, as it shared that the technology had limited impact across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
Despite widespread concern that generative AI could interfere with major elections around the globe this year, the technology had limited impact across Meta Platforms' apps, the tech company said on Tuesday.
