Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, visited the US Capitol on Feb. 19 to meet with senators about AI and American tech leadership.

The visit comes as Meta ramps up AI investments, including smart glasses and headsets.

The company plans to spend up to US$65 billion on AI projects this year.

A Meta spokesperson confirmed the discussions covered AI regulations but did not disclose which senators were involved.

Meta has also pushed back against EU regulations like the Digital Services Act, which holds social platforms accountable for harmful content.

Zuckerberg’s visit underscores Meta’s efforts to navigate regulatory hurdles while expanding its AI initiatives.
