Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg countered doomsday views on artificial intelligence, arguing that superintelligence will advance knowledge and invention rather than eliminate jobs or render humans irrelevant. In a blog post, he wrote, "I do not understand why anyone who believes that AI will eliminate most jobs and much of humanity's relevance would rush to build that future. The notion that AI is so dangerous that the only safe path is an extreme concentration of power seems inherently problematic." He stated that "Invention, not automation, will be the greatest contribution of superintelligence," noting early AI could handle routine work but soon help discover new knowledge. On costs, he wrote, "While the number of questions a person can ask in a day is limited, the number of valuable things superintelligence can invent to help achieve your goals is unlimited." Zuckerberg detailed Meta’s efforts, including a personal agent working "24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more." Researchers at Meta are using AI to generate new crystal structures for augmented reality glasses, and engineers are creating apps faster. "Everyone will soon have invention superpowers," he said. Around this time last year, he had outlined plans for superintelligence to help individuals achieve personal goals, create new things, and enhance daily life, saying an even more meaningful impact will come from everyone having a personal superintelligence.
