Inside Meta's push to put open superintelligent AI on your devices

Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word manifesto Monday declaring that the biggest risk of AI is that if one government or a few companies amass too much control, democracy could be hurt. He outlined a vision for "personal superintelligence," where each user would have a personal AI agent on their device. Meta released an "open" version of its AI model called Muse Glimmer, allowing techies to download and modify it without approval and businesses to create AI assistants. Zuckerberg wrote, "Rather than centralizing superintelligence, we should distribute it widely and give every person the ability to direct it." The move positions Meta as an American open-source alternative to inexpensive Chinese AI models. Zuckerberg recommended federal collaboration on safety-testing but cautioned that government intervention slowing AI development would hand the advantage to China, which is bringing on nuclear power facilities within weeks. The announcements come as AI labs remain unable to fully control systems, resulting in rogue AI agents hacking, cheating, and creating new viruses.
