Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, shifts focus to AI investments, stepping back from metaverse plans. The company plans to spend $135 billion on data centers, an 87% increase from last year.

With personalized content targeting and new ad campaigns, Meta is poised for significant growth in the future.
