Mark Zuckerberg is slated to make yet another high-stakes courtroom appearance this week as shareholders seek to hold him accountable for the more than $8 billion that Meta has spent to settle lawsuits over privacy violations.

Last month, the social media giant invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI ( SCAI.PVT) and brought on its CEO, Alexandr Wang, and hired former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman and Safe Superintelligence CEO Daniel Gross. The company also poached Apple's head of AI foundation models, Ruoming Pang, according to Bloomberg.

Top members of Meta’s new Superintelligence Lab discussed pivoting away from the company’s powerful open source AI model, Behemoth, and instead developing a closed model. This would mark a major philosophical shift for Meta.

Meta is removing spam accounts, limiting duplicate content and investing billions into AI moderation infrastructure.

Shareholders claim that Mark Zuckerberg and other top officials should have to reimburse Facebook for $8 billion in fines and penalties.

Meta's reach goes far beyond Facebook. Here’s a closer look at five major companies it owns, from social media giants to virtual reality innovators.

Members of the lab, including the new chief A.I. officer, Alexandr Wang, have talked about abandoning Meta’s most powerful open source A.I. model in favor of developing a closed one.

The social media giant invested in EssilorLuxottica SA, which has collaborated with Meta on smart glasses, Bloomberg reported.
