Many companies dream of dominating the era of artificial intelligence. But hardly any can flip a switch and instantly put their AI in front of the eyeballs of a meaningful percentage of humanity. One of the few that can is Meta, which reaches nearly 4 billion people a month via Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger.
Before I delve into what it’s doing with that vast platform, some Fast Company tech stories you might not have read yet:

Earlier this month, Elon Musk sent a memo to Tesla employees announcing that the EV maker would cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce in order to help the company prepare for its next phase of growth.

Following years of public scrutiny over TikTok’s ties to China, the Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would require TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to divest from the app within nine months or face a ban in the U.S. The bill, which already cleared the House last week, was part of a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, which President Joe Biden

Today’s education system is driven by rules and standardization, too often ignoring the specific needs of individual learners, particularly those already facing disadvantages. AI can change that.
AI can be the catalyst we need to finally bridge the digital divide and uplift all students. AI can redefine education, creating personalized, dynamic learning pathways that are attuned to each learner’s needs. With AI, each student can proceed at their own pace, with AI adjusting to

Meta announced its first-quarter earnings after the closing bell on Wednesday. The company’s stock plunged 12% in after-hours trading, due to the company’s increased expenses and mediocre revenue projections.
The company’s revenue is at $36.46 million, up 27% over the same time last year. Meta said that it saw an average of 3.24 billion active people o
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed the TikTok ban into law, finally giving owner ByteDance its Choose Your Own American Adventure: It must either sell the immensely popular video-sharing platform or see it get banned in the U.S.
The decisive power play requires the Beijing-based tech company to divest TikTok within 365 days. If it doesn’t, the consequences are that TikTok would be yanked from U.S. app stores. Both scenarios would shake up the tech scene, causing ripples that
