But getting into the AI category with that name may cause confusion.

Either way, there will be an issue.

Yeah, more of an issue for Meta. Generally big companies choose a name they like, and sort out the trademarks later. See: iOS / Cisco.

If you’ve been using a name earlier, ideally with a trademark but even without a trademark, and a big company also uses it after you; it’s generally their problem, not yours, and you can expect a wad of cash.
