The Zhitong Finance App learned that Meta (META.US) rose more than 2% to $592.77 on Wednesday. According to the news, as Meta settles social media-related lawsuits, thereby removing a long-standing legal uncertainty, some analysts believe this may clear the way for the company to intensively launch a range of new artificial intelligence (AI) products.

The settlement once raised investors' concerns about a possible decline in Meta ad revenue. However, analysts at Morgan Stanley say that when large-scale lawsuits are over, they often push tech giants to launch innovative products and services. Morgan Stanley analysts said in the report: “We see that Meta is currently preparing a number of new products, including MetaLaw/improved MetaAI, a complete set of smart advertising tools for small and medium-sized enterprises, upcoming new subscription services, powerful API products, and neocloud related options.”

According to reports, Meta plans to launch Hatch, an AI smart device for consumers in early September. The product will be built into WhatsApp and Instagram, and can independently perform tasks including online shopping and restaurant reservations.
