Meta 正在利用一项旨在支持研究的利润丰厚的税收减免政策。
在一次重大更新中，人工智能数据中心不仅因刺耳的噪音以及对电力和水资源的大量消耗而困扰周边邻居，还使企业实体能够在联邦税单上节省数十亿美元。
Meta is exploiting a lucrative tax break intended to support research In a major update, the AI data centers are not disturbing their neighbors with screeching noise and using up large amounts of power and water, they are also enabling corporate entities to save billions of dollars on their federal tax bill.
据《纽约时报》报道，Meta 将其耗资数十亿美元的庞大数据中心建设项目归类为最初旨在协助企业进行潜在风险研究和实验的试点模型。
According to the New York Times, Meta is classifying its immense multi-billion dollar data center construction projects as pilot models originally designed to assist businesses experimenting in potentially risky research and experimentation.
Meta 利用这一漏洞已有两年时间，2024 年节省了 20 亿美元。
Meta has been capitalizing the loophole for two years now, saving $2 billion in 2024.
根据其 2025 年年度报告，该公司节省了近 40 亿美元，使其成为迄今为止上市公司中已知的最大税收抵免受益者。
The company saved almost $4 billion according to its 2025 annual report making it the largest known recipient of the credit to date among public companies.
这种利用方式是日益令人不安的趋势的一部分，即人工智能行业已经在积极地进行虚报收入和创造性会计处理，同时在监管真空下运作，这加剧了人们对可能即将破裂的人工智能泡沫的担忧，专家担心这会让市场变得极不稳定并处于崩溃边缘。
The exploit is part of a growing and disturbing trend in which the AI industry is already aggressively accounting for inflated revenues and creative accounting while operating in a regulatory vacuum, fueling concerns over a possible AI bubble that experts fear is about to burst, leaving the market highly unstable and on the brink of collapse.
尽管如此，Meta 仍在试图通过篡改数据来逃避纳税，这可能会加剧关于人工智能行业试图为其庞大数据中心建设辩护的激烈争议。
Nonetheless, Meta is trying to fudge the numbers to avoid paying taxes which could fuel the raging controversy over the AI industry’s attempts to justify its enormous data centre buildouts.
