Mark Zuckerberg Shares Vision For Personal Superintelligence

Reading time: 2 min

Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared an open letter on Wednesday outlining his vision for “Personal Superintelligence,” a hypothetical form of advanced artificial intelligence the company has begun developing.

In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

  • Mark Zuckerberg shared an open letter outlining his vision for “Personal Superintelligence.”
  • The CEO said the technology will “help humanity accelerate our pace of progress,” and that smartglasses will become more valuable in the future.
  • Meta wants to make the technology accessible for everyone.

In a plain-text document published on Meta’s website, Zuckerberg offered an optimistic perspective on the future of AI and the development of superintelligence, the highest level of AI development under the current widely accepted framework.

“AI will improve all our existing systems and enable the creation and discovery of new things that aren’t imaginable today,” wrote Zuckerberg. “I am extremely optimistic that superintelligence will help humanity accelerate our pace of progress. But perhaps even more important is that superintelligence has the potential to begin a new era of personal empowerment.”

The statement doesn’t provide details on how technology will directly benefit humanity or fit into Meta’s business strategy, but shares Meta’s intentions on making it accessible to everyone. Zuckerberg also emphasized that wearable devices—like the smart glasses Meta is building—will become even more useful in the future.

“We believe the benefits of superintelligence should be shared with the world as broadly as possible. That said, superintelligence will raise novel safety concerns,” states the document. “The rest of this decade seems likely to be the decisive period for determining the path this technology will take, and whether superintelligence will be a tool for personal empowerment or a force focused on replacing large swaths of society.”

Meta also released a short video on social media in which Zuckerberg briefly explains his vision for superintelligence and underscores the company’s goal of developing “personal superintelligence.”

The statement has been shared minutes before the company’s earnings call—the company’s second quarter results have surpassed experts’ expectations, and shares climbed 10%—and a few days after Meta finished hiring talents with multimillion-dollar offers for its new SuperIntelligence AI Lab.
