Meta Aims To Automate Ads With Artificial Intelligence By 2026: Report
Meta Platforms aims to allow brands to fully create and target advertisements with its artificial intelligence tools by the end of next year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The social media company's apps have 3.43 billion unique active users globally and its AI-driven tools help create personalized ad variations, image backgrounds and automated adjustments to video ads, making it lucrative for advertisers.
A brand could provide a product image and a budget, and Meta's AI would generate the ad, including image, video and text, and then determine user targeting on Instagram and Facebook with budget suggestions, the report said.
Meta also plans to let advertisers personalize ads using AI, so that users see different versions of the same ad in real time, based on factors such as geolocation, according to the report.
The owner of Facebook and Instagram, whose majority of revenue comes from ad sales, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Social media firms such as Snap, Pinterest and Reddit are increasingly investing in AI and machine learning tools to attract advertisers in an intensely competitive and crowded digital ad market.
Technology firms such as Google and OpenAI have also launched video and image-generation AI tools, but their widespread adoption in advertising remains in doubt as marketers weigh concerns over brand safety, creative control and quality.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg stressed that advertisers needed AI products that delivered "measurable results at scale" in the not-so-distant future. He added that the company aimed to build an AI one-stop shop where businesses can set goals, allocate budgets and let the platform handle the logistics.

Eminem sues Facebook-owner Meta for $109 million over alleged copyright infringement
World-famous musician and rap artist Eminem has sued Facebook-owner Meta Platforms for $109 million in damages, accusing the company of copyright infringement, reported the news portal E! News on Wednesday, 4 June 2025. According to the news portal's report citing the court documents, Eight Mile Style was the publishing company which filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms on 30 May 2025. The court order states that Marshall Mathers (Eminem) is alleging that Meta violated the copyright of 243 songs from his catalogue through the 'unauthorised storage, reproduction and exploitation' of his rap songs on their social media platform, as per the news report. The lawsuit also alleged that Meta's in-app features like 'Original Audio' and 'Reels' were encouraging and allowing users to steal Eminem's music to use in video content without 'proper attribution or license.' The Grammy winner is now seeking to receive a monetary payment as a penalty for the damages which were allegedly caused due to the copyright infringements. 'The diminished value of the copyrights by Defendants' theft of them, lost profits, and Defendants' profits attributable to the infringement,' according to the news portal's report. Eminem also has asked for $150,000 for each song in question across all three platforms owned by Meta, which totals up to a little over $109 million. The social media giant has not responded to the news portal's queries on this development. Meta Platform shares were trading 2.34 per cent higher at $682.46 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday's Wall Street session as of 11:04 a.m. (EDT), compared to $666.85 in the previous US market session. On the backdrop of this case, Eminem was alleged was set to perform in India on 3 June 2025, but there was no official confirmation from the rapper or his organisers that any concert actually took place on Tuesday. Multiple media reports and leaked tour schedules suggested that Eminem was scheduled to perform in Mumbai on 3 June 2025, but no verified information confirmed that the concert actually happened. Mint on 20 February 2025 cited a Gang Flow report which claimed that Eminem's 2025 world tour would have stops across North America, Asia, and Europe. However, this information, along with the India tour, was incorrect due to the lack of official data.
