Meta plans to invest $125 billion to $145 billion in AI capital expenditures in 2026, emphasizing advancements in Llama models and advertising systems. However, the earnings call did not address the company's significant child safety crisis, including a recent $6 million verdict in a social media addiction trial and multiple lawsuits from state attorneys general. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing, with bans on underage users in several countries and new legislation targeting AI chatbots for minors. CFO Susan Li acknowledged potential material losses, but no questions were raised about children's safety during the call.
