Leading tech companies Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon are set to report quarterly earnings amidst increased scrutiny on their AI strategies. Analysts suggest that while investing heavily in AI, firms like Meta must diversify their focus beyond advertising to include areas like autonomous research and hardware innovation. Concerns surrounding Apple's approach to AI integration have emerged, with calls for the company to enhance its technological stakes to keep pace with competitors. Overall, the AI landscape appears poised for deeper investments despite bubble apprehensions.
Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's plans to invest "hundreds of billions of dollars" to build out a "superintelligence" network will be topical on the earnings call.
Benchmark analysts noted that much of Meta's investments in AI have focused on expanding and strengthening its advertising platform, which drives sales.
Meta must now broaden its investment scope outside advertising into more competitive and less certain return horizons including autonomous research, video generation, hardware innovation, multimodal AI.
Apple has faced concerns about not incorporating AI deeply enough into its devices, and thereby falling behind its rivals in developing the technology.
