Meta Expands AI Ambitions with 'META AI' Trademark Amid Market Surge
Feb/21/2025
On February 5, Meta Platforms filed a U.S. trademark application for 'META AI', signaling an aggressive push into artificial intelligence. The filing covers a broad range of AI-driven software applications, including machine learning, natural language processing, image and speech recognition, and AI-generated content. As Meta ramps up its AI investments, it is simultaneously adjusting its executive compensation structure, with top executives now eligible for bonuses of up to 200% of their base salary—more than double the previous cap—though CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains excluded from the change. The company is also shifting away from stock-based rewards while continuing massive infrastructure spending on AI. Meanwhile, Meta’s stock has soared 47% in the past year, recently closing at $694.84, with a near-record peak of $741. Investors remain bullish on Meta’s AI potential and its dominant position in digital advertising, further buoyed by TikTok’s ongoing regulatory challenges in the U.S. The trademark filing underscores Meta’s long-term strategy: leveraging artificial intelligence as a core driver of future revenue and product innovation. The following visualization provides detailed information on Meta’s new U.S. trademark filing.
