A landmark bellwether trial in Los Angeles is testing whether social media platforms can be held liable for 'addictive' design features like infinite scroll and algorithmic recommendations. With TikTok and Snapchat already settling, the outcome for Meta and Google could fundamentally reshape the engagement-driven business models of the modern adtech ecosystem.
Meta’s massive investment in Large Language Models (LLMs) like Llama has yet to penetrate its core advertising engine, which still relies on traditional discriminative models for ranking and recommendations. While generative AI is currently streamlining creative production, the transition to LLM-based ad delivery remains a long-term strategic goal hampered by latency and computational costs.
