He pointed out advancements in generative AI, such as the new Imagine Edit feature, which allows users to modify AI-generated images. This feature is currently being rolled out in the US, contributing to the platform’s enhanced user experience.

Meta has ambitious goals for its AI technology. Zuckerberg expressed confidence that Meta AI is on track to become the most widely used AI assistant by the end of the year. He emphasized Meta’s vision of empowering individuals to create their own AI experiences. To support this vision, Meta launched AI Studio, a tool that lets anyone create their own AIs to interact with across Meta’s apps.

Meta’s strong financial performance in the second quarter, with a 22% year-over-year revenue increase, reflects the company's success in navigating the evolving tech landscape and its growing focus on AI innovation. The Q2 revenue of Meta crosses $39.1 billion which is Rs 32746 crores. The emergence of India as its largest AI market highlights the country’s potential to become a global hub for AI development and adoption.

By investing in AI and expanding its reach, Meta is positioning itself at the forefront of technological advancements, ensuring that it remains a key player in the global tech industry. This strategic focus not only benefits Meta but also accelerates AI adoption and innovation in markets like India, setting the stage for further growth and development in the years to come.
