Collaboration with LG Electronics

The CEO of Meta discussed business strategies for extended reality devices
with the CEO of LG Electronics for two hours,
focusing on the second phase beyond virtual and augmented reality devices like the Oculus Quest headset.

LG Electronics stated in a press release that they discussed Meta’s
large language models (LLMs) and the possibility of integrating artificial intelligence into consumer devices.
The company also explored how platforms like Meta
could align LG content and television business to create a “unique ecosystem.”

Competing in Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence and devices like the Oculus Quest
were the primary topics on Zuckerberg’s agenda during his tour.
Meta plans to invest in artificial intelligence and expand its presence in devices like Apple’s “Apple Vision Yero.”
Zuckerberg is expected to engage with Samsung Electronics,
the perennial competitor of LG Electronics, which has collaborated with Meta in virtual reality.

Zuckerberg returns to the city where Meta competes, extending
its activities from Facebook to Instagram, racing against OpenAI,
Microsoft, and even Alphabet in artificial intelligence.
Meta’s entry into the field of artificial intelligence requires a significant
number of chips from Nvidia and investing in “massive computer infrastructure.”

LG Invests in New Technologies

LG, one of the largest companies in consumer electronics,
pledged to invest $7.6 billion in new fields and technologies such as electric cars.
Cho stated that the Korean company, which manufactures everything from home appliances to smartphones,
has doubled its spending despite global economic uncertainty.

According to Counterpoint Research, Meta, still the leader in virtual reality headset manufacturing,
owns nearly half the market. However, it’s losing a lot and now faces competition from Apple.
