Meta AI has invested $66-72B in AI infrastructure (2025) with AGI targeted for 2027, pioneering open-source AI through PyTorch (63% market share) and LLaMA (1B+ downloads). However, the organization exhibits weak safety culture with Chief AI Scientist dismissing existential risk, 50%+ researcher attrition to competitors, and no published responsible scaling policy.
