Meta's ambition to build a nuclear-powered AI data center was complicated by the discovery of a rare bee species nearby, which raised regulatory challenges.
During an all-hands meeting, Mark Zuckerberg mentioned that the rare bees significantly influenced the decision to halt plans for the new AI facility.
Meta anticipates substantial growth in infrastructure expenses to support its AI initiatives, reflecting the competitive investment landscape among tech giants.
Fellow tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are also investing heavily in AI infrastructure, with Google recently making nuclear energy partnerships.
