Meta Unveils Muse and Retail Partnerships Amid US-China AI Tensions

Meta Platforms Inc., now the world's seventh-largest public company by market capitalization, has unveiled a slate of new AI agent capabilities and retail partnerships at its Connect event. The company's new AI agent, Muse, will remain free for most users.

Meanwhile, US-China relations have taken center stage as Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of ensuring artificial intelligence remains 'under human control.' This comes as President Donald Trump promotes what he now calls 'super intelligence.'

Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang cautioned that the artificial intelligence infrastructure boom will eventually produce more computing capacity than the market needs, but expects this turning point to occur within two to three years.
