Zuckerberg expects to invest as much as $65 billion to further Meta’s AI ambitions, which includes a data center ‘so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan.’

The social-media giant plans to spend between $60 billion and $65 billion, the latest sign of tech companies’ accelerating investments into artificial intelligence.

OpenAI debuted its Operator agent system. It’s just a research preview for now, a start toward the promised land of AI agents where we might see automated grocery restocking and expense reports (I’ll believe that when I see it). But the road will be long and winding.

Zuckerberg went on to say that Meta is building a data center of over two GW (gigawatts, a big amount of energy) "that is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan."

Top tech giants are investing heavily in data centers across the country. Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want to be left behind. Meta’s capital expenditures for this year are expected to range from $60 billion to $65 billion,
