July 31st.Meta The company's CEO, Mark.Zuckerbergunveiled its ambitious vision for "personal superintelligence" on Wednesday, a move that makes the company'sAIStrategies are differentiated from competitors.
In a statement, Zuckerberg noted that Meta's AI system has begun to show signs of self-improvement over the past few months, making the development of superintelligence close at hand, emphasizing, "Meta's vision is to bring personal superintelligence to everyone. We strongly believe in the importance of putting this powerful force in people's hands so they can use it for the things they value in their own lives."
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg contrasted Meta's path with other industry players. He mentioned that some companies believe that superintelligence should be focused on automating all valuable work, while humans depend on its output for survival. However, Meta has chosen a different path and is committed to popularizing superintelligence on a personal level.
He also predicts that personal AI systems that are able to deeply understand users' goals will become increasingly important. Devices such as smart glasses, for example, will become major computing tools as they are able to understand specific situations by observing and listening to the user's experience.
Despite advocating for a wider range of people to benefit from superintelligence, Zuckerberg also acknowledged that new security issues will inevitably arise as the technology evolves, requiring careful consideration of which technologies can be open-sourced.
Zuckerberg said, "The rest of this decade looks like it will be a critical period in determining the future direction of this technology." He emphasized that Meta is committed to developing AI that empowers individuals rather than replacing human roles.

personal superintelligence
Over the past few months, we have begun to see signs of self-improvement in AI systems. While the progress is still slow, there is no doubt about it.The development of superintelligence is on the horizon.
It's certain that in the coming years, AI will enhance all of our existing systems and drive the creation and discovery of new things that we can't even imagine today. But the question is, where will we lead superintelligence?
In one sense, this may be a completely new era for mankind, but from another point of view, it is also just a continuation of historical trends. Just 200 years ago, the people of 90% were still farming to make ends meet. And technological advances continue to free humans from the pressures of survival, allowing them to devote more energy to pursuing the goals they want. At every step of the way, people have used their newly acquired productivity to accomplish what was once unattainable, pushing the frontiers of science and health while also being able to spend more time on creativity, culture, relationships, and enjoyment of life.
I am extremely optimistic that superintelligence can help accelerate human progress. But perhaps more importantly, superintelligence has the potential to usher in a new era of personal empowerment, where people will be able to improve the world to a much greater extent and move in the direction they choose.
Artificial Intelligence may bring us unprecedented material abundance in the future, but more importantly, it may enter everyone's life in the form of a "personal superintelligence" that will help you achieve your goals, create the world you want to see, experience any adventure you want to experience, become a better friend, companion, and grow into the person you want to be.
Meta's vision is to make personal superintelligence accessible to everyone. We believe that this power should be put into the hands of people so that they can direct it in accordance with the values they live by.
This is in stark contrast to some in the industry who believe that superintelligence should be focused on automating all valuable work and then humans living off its output. At Meta, on the other hand, we believe that allowing people to pursue their own aspirations is exactly how we've always driven prosperity, science, health and culture. This will become even more important in the future.
The intersection of technology and human life is a key focus for Meta, and it will only become more important in the future.
If trends continue, people will spend less time on productivity software and more on creating and connecting. Personal superintelligence that understands us, understands our goals, and helps us achieve them is the most useful. Personal devices that understand where we are in real time, such as glasses that "see" what we see, hear what we hear, and interact with us throughout the day, will become the primary computing devices of the future.
We believe that the benefits of superintelligence should be shared as widely as possible with the world. This, of course, raises new security concerns. We must address these risks rigorously and decide carefully what can be open-sourced. But we remain convinced that building a free society requires us to empower people as much as possible.
The next decade is likely to be a critical period in determining the path of superintelligence, whether this technology will become a tool for personal empowerment or a force for replacing large-scale work in society.
Meta believes in building personal superintelligence that empowers everyone. We have the resources and expertise to build the massive infrastructure needed, as well as the strength and willingness to deliver new technologies to billions of users around the world. I look forward to focusing Meta's efforts on realizing this future.
