Meta's year of bold 'superintelligence' bets unlikely to pump profits
It's crunch time for Mark Zuckerberg as he pulls out all the stops to stay relevant in Silicon Valley's intensifying advanced artificial intelligence Meta CEO has sparked a billion-dollar talent war, aggressively poaching researchers from rivals including OpenAI . But as Meta's spending rises, so does the pressure it faces to deliver the second quarter, though, Wall Street is bracing for disappointment as the company is set to report its slowest profit growth in two years on Wednesday, rising by 11.5% to $15.01 billion, as operating costs jump nearly 9%.Revenue, too, likely grew at its slowest pace in seven quarters in that period, up an expected 14.7% to $44.80 billion, according to an average analyst estimate from Zuckerberg is no stranger to high-stakes pursuits - Meta's augmented-reality unit has burned more than $60 billion since 2020 - his latest push comes with added urgency because of the underwhelming performance of the company's large language Llama 4 recently pledged hundreds of billions of dollars to build massive AI data centers and shelled out $14.3 billion for a stake in startup Scale AI , poaching its 28-year-old billionaire CEO Alexandr Wang, even as Meta continued to lay off have largely backed Zuckerberg's frenzied pursuit of superintelligence - a hypothetical concept where AI surpasses human intelligence in every possible way - pushing the company's stock up more than a fifth so far this they will watch if Meta further increases its capital expenditure for the year after boosting it in April. Alphabet also upped the ante last week, increasing its annual capex forecast by 13% to $85 billion due to surging demand for its AI-powered Google Cloud services."We view rising capex as positive given... Meta can become a one-stop shop for many marketing departments," said Ben Barringer, head of technology research at Quilter Cheviot, which holds Meta efforts from Alphabet's Google DeepMind and OpenAI, Meta launched a Superintelligence Lab last month that will work in parallel to Meta AI, the company's established AI research division, led by deep learning pioneer, Yann differentiate its efforts, Zuckerberg has promised to release Meta's AI work as open source and touted that superintelligence can become a mainstream consumer product through devices like Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses , rather than a purely enterprise-focused strategy plays to Meta's strengths, analysts say, pointing to its more than 3-billion strong social media user base and engagement gains in recent years, driven by AI-enhanced content Meta's mainstay advertising market is under threat from advertisers pulling back spending in the face of President Donald Trump's tariffs, and tough competition from Chinese-owned TikTok , whose U.S. ban now seems advertisers may have leaned on proven platforms such as Meta amid the uncertainty, but that will not shield the company from questions over its superintelligence ambitions and how they fit into its broader business strategy, said Minda Smiley, senior analyst at eMarketer."While Meta has seen massive gains from incorporating AI into its ad platform and algorithms, its attempts to directly compete with the likes of OpenAI are proving to be more challenging while costing it billions of dollars."Questions remain about when superintelligence can be achieved, a timeline Zuckerberg admits is uncertain. Meta's LeCun is also a known skeptic of the large language model path to superintelligence."Meta's AI strategy today is more cohesive than in 2023, but there's still a sense the company is still searching for direction," MoffettNathanson analysts said.

Driven by geopolitical compulsions and innovation, Rajasthan mining sector scripting success story
Jaipur: In a remarkable turnaround, Rajasthan's mining sector has firmly carved a place for itself on the national map by emerging as the top-performing state in India's mining sector. It recently crossed the milestone of auctioning over 100 major mineral blocks. Also, the state's mining sector has simultaneously emerged as one of the top five revenue-generating departments. With royalty collections touching Rs 9,228 crore in FY 2024–25, a 24 per cent year-on-year increase, the mining department is now a key driver of the state's economy, alongside GST, VAT on fuel, and excise duties. Once considered an underperformer despite being among India's top three mineral-producing states (alongside Odisha and Chhattisgarh), Rajasthan is now seeing an unprecedented transformation. So, what sparked this transformation? 'Strategic reforms, Artificial Intelligence-led exploration, and rising geopolitical compulsions surrounding critical and Rare Earth minerals have opened up new growth avenues, placing Rajasthan prominently on the national and global mineral map,' said T. Ravikant, Principal Secretary, Mines and Geology, in an exclusive interview with IANS. A few years ago, despite its geological wealth, Rajasthan had done little to tap its full potential. However, the state's approach has changed dramatically. According to Ravikant, Rajasthan has now auctioned 64 major mineral blocks in just 18 months — compared to only 39 blocks over the previous eight years following the 2016-17 Central Government policy mandating auctions. In total, 103 major mineral blocks have been auctioned in Rajasthan since 2016, making it the leading state in the country in this domain. Speaking on key innovations driving growth, he said, the establishment of the Rajasthan State Mineral Exploration Trust (RSMET) in 2022 was the game changer which laid the foundation for scientific exploration. In another first, Rajasthan adopted AI and Machine Learning for mineral mapping in 2025, a move expected to reduce time, cost, and human labour while increasing accuracy. 'Many of these innovations have contributed to the sector's rapid rise,' said Ravikant. He further shared the significance of critical minerals and their strategic importance. "Rajasthan's mineral wealth includes 22 major and 36 minor minerals. It is India's sole producer of lead, zinc, wollastonite, selenite, calcite, and gypsum. Notably, over 95 per cent of India's potash reserves lie in Rajasthan, but remained untapped for years. India imported potash worth over Rs 8,000 crore in FY25. Now, we've finally begun auctioning potash blocks, marking a major policy shift,' Ravikant said. Rare Earth minerals are crucial for electronics, Defence, and clean energy and have also come into focus, he added. "Despite India having the world's third-largest Rare Earth reserves, much of Rajasthan's potential had gone unexplored until now. Significant deposits have recently been discovered in Bhati Kheda (Siwana tehsil, Balotra), while survey work is underway in Barmer, Jalore, and other western regions. 'These developments are vital at a time when China controls 90 per cent of global Rare Earth production. Geopolitical compulsions are clearly reshaping the sector,' said Ravikant. Speaking on the desert state's comparison with Odisha, he said, "While Odisha still leads in revenue from high-value minerals like bauxite — earning around Rs 50,000 crore annually — Rajasthan dominates in minor minerals like masonry stone." "We face tough competition from states like Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand,' Ravikant acknowledged. 'But with tighter regulations, increased transparency, and the Chief Minister's direct oversight, Rajasthan is well-positioned to scale further heights. Illegal mining, more controlled in Odisha due to corporate leases, remains a challenge in Rajasthan. Still, we're opening doors to new players under stricter governance frameworks,' he added. In just two years, mining's contribution to Rajasthan's GSDP has surged to a leading revenue source. Surveys are underway for other strategic minerals like tungsten in Nagaur and uranium in Sikar under the Central Government's purview. "With its rich mineral landscape finally receiving the attention it deserves, Rajasthan is fast emerging as a mining powerhouse — one that not only boosts economic growth but also serves India's strategic and national security interests," said Ravikant.
