Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing that superintelligence should not be locked inside a handful of labs but distributed so ordinary people, small businesses, and entire economies can use the tools currently reserved for the well-funded few. He frames this as the defining question of the era. However, the article notes that Zuckerberg’s stated philosophy does not match Meta’s actual AI track record in 2025. When Llama 4 launched in April 2025, independent testers were unable to reproduce Meta’s benchmark results, and researchers found the model submitted to a public leaderboard was an unreleased experimental chat version rather than the one available to users. In January 2026, Meta’s outgoing chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, told the Financial Times that the results had been “fudged a little bit.” The controversy led to a company-wide AI reorganization.
