Zuckerberg Says Meta's AI Systems Have Begun Improving Themselves, And Developing Superintelligence is Now in Sight

Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday that Meta's AI systems have begun improving themselves over the past few months, calling the development 'slow for now, but undeniable' and declaring that superintelligence is now within reach. The Meta CEO staked out the company's vision in a blog post for what he termed 'personal superintelligence' -- AI that helps individuals achieve their goals rather than replacing human work entirely.

Zuckerberg drew a sharp line between Meta's approach and that of other companies in the field, arguing that competitors want superintelligence 'directed centrally towards automating all valuable work, and then humanity will live on a dole of its output.' Meta's version would give people their own superintelligent assistants that know them deeply and help them create, experience adventures, and become better friends.

Zuckerberg envisions smart glasses as the primary computing device, understanding context through what users see and hear throughout their day. The next few years represent a critical juncture, Zuckerberg wrote, calling the rest of this decade 'the decisive period for determining the path this technology will take.'
