And that will defend our values and interests abroad.
And I am optimistic about the progress and innovation that this can unlock, he said.
I think that this is the most exciting and dynamic that I have ever seen our industry.
Ive believed in free expression for quite a while.
People dont want to see misinformation.
But you gotta build an effective system that gives people more context.
And Im not afraid to admit when someone does something thats better than us.
So our commitment to brand safety is unchanged.
And we expect that we will invest in our suite of tools to meet the needs of advertisers.
AI took up much of the hour.
And this is going to be a profound milestone and potentially one of the most important innovations in history.
So thats another reason why I think that this year is going to set the course for the future.
He said he expects Metas AI Assistant to reach more than 1 billion people.
We have a really exciting roadmap for this year with a unique vision focused on personalization.
We believe that people dont all want to use the same AI.
People are going to get to choose how their AI works and what it looks like for them.
That has some investors worried given the many billions of dollars companies Stateside are laying out.
And thats part of the nature of how this works, whether its a Chinese competitor or not.
Theres going to be an Open Source standard globally.
And I think, for our own national advantage, its important that its an American Standard.
Another key 2025 milestone Were going to learn whats going to happen withTikTok.
A vanished or hobbled TikTok would be great news for Meta, but he didnt dwell.
Regardless, he said, he expects Metas TikTok rivals Reels on Instagram and Facebook to continue growing.
