Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is doubling down on personalized AI, painting a future where superintelligent tools, especially integrated into wearable glasses, empower individuals to achieve their goals, spark creativity, strengthen relationships, and facilitate personal development. This ambition directly aligns with the industry-wide pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), a technology capable of performing any intellectual task that a human being can. Companies like OpenAI and Google are also heavily invested in this space.

Zuckerberg distinguished Meta’s approach by contrasting it with those who foresee AGI automating a majority of jobs, necessitating universal basic income. He reaffirmed his commitment to smart glasses as a key interface for this technology and expressed concerns about prematurely open-sourcing AI models without robust safety measures.

The coming decade, according to Zuckerberg, will be pivotal in shaping whether superintelligence becomes a tool for individual empowerment or a driving force behind widespread job displacement.
