Meta Requires Disclosure of AI-Processed Content in Political Ads

Social media giant Meta is facing unprecedented AI infrastructure costs, with projected AI-related spending soaring to a staggering $65 billion, potentially contributing to a total annual expenditure of $119 billion! Faced with this astronomical bill, the tech giant has decided to develop its own AI chips, and has already made significant progress. Recent reports indicate that Meta is about to begin a small-scale deployment of its custom chips, signaling a gradual move away from Nvidia and its reliance on their GPUs.
The Spanish government has recently passed a new law imposing substantial fines on companies that fail to properly label AI-generated content, aiming to combat the spread of deepfakes. Digital Transformation Minister Oscar Lopez announced that the law, inspired by the EU's AI Act, mandates strict transparency requirements for AI systems deemed high-risk.

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, stated at a U.S. Council on Foreign Relations forum that he believes AI will handle 90% of coding within the next 3-6 months. Amodei's prediction that AI could potentially write nearly all code within 12 months has garnered significant attention. The statement was made during a discussion with Mike Froman, President of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Meta is reportedly testing a self-designed chip for training AI systems, a move to lessen its reliance on hardware vendors like Nvidia. According to Reuters, the chip, manufactured in collaboration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), is specifically designed for AI workloads. Currently undergoing small-scale testing, Meta plans to expand production if the tests are successful. Image caption.
