Meta's CTO breaks down who in Big Tech he thinks has an advantage in the AI race (and it's not Google)
Briefly

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth discussed the AI landscape in a recent podcast, expressing skepticism about legacy tech companies maintaining dominance. He believes Microsoft is well-positioned, while Google faces significant challenges due to its established business model. Bosworth highlighted Meta's open-source AI model as beneficial for startups, suggesting that innovation is emerging from new players rather than traditional giants. He emphasized that disruptive technologies could reshape the market, indicating a shift in the tech landscape and the opportunities it presents for nimble companies.
"The wisdom of any generation is: These big companies from the last generation are obviously going to win the next generation... it almost never happens."
"Google has a business model challenge... are they willing to undermine and cannibalize one of the most successful business models, if not the most successful business model, of all time?"
"I suspect there is a lot of room for truly disruptive technologies... we're seeing that really play out materially as hyperscalers are forced to take on innovations that came out of these little startups."
"I don't know why or how, but I suspect... a better base from which to innovate, and 'building up the ecosystem' of fledgling companies."
