Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company is exploring ways to make some of its AI infrastructure available to outside users as an “AI cloud” business. Zuckerberg links the idea to Meta’s need for additional computing capacity to build and run artificial intelligence products, in a market where AI development and deployment face resource constraints.
