Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) has faced investor skepticism over its heavy AI capital expenditure. The company lacks a dedicated AI cloud platform to monetize the spending, a key concern for the market.

A recent analysis on Seeking Alpha argues that the market has overlooked how Meta has already used AI to improve its products. The article, titled "Meta Platforms: Multiple Paths To Ride AI Boom," points to the social media company's ability to monetize AI through ad targeting and content recommendation algorithms, not just a cloud platform.

The stock fell 2.79% to $646.01 on the session. Meta's Alpha Score from AlphaScala is 66 out of 100, a moderate rating.

The article argues that the market has ignored Meta's existing AI uses, which could provide multiple monetization paths beyond a cloud platform.
