Mark Zuckerberg spent a single week making his most concentrated public case yet on how artificial intelligence should be built and who should control it, releasing an open letter, an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, and an unprecedented interview with The New York Times. Across all three events, Zuckerberg criticised the industry shift toward closed and protected artificial intelligence, arguing such a situation poses a threat to the economy and politics, and that decentralised AI innovation is essential for the competitiveness of the US. In his New York Times interview, he said of rival labs, "So much of the discourse from a lot of the other labs that are developing this is overwhelmingly filled with doom," adding the debate needed "a voice or several voices that are bringing realism" and that it was "literally impossible to have a single benevolent superintelligence that is simultaneously aligned with everyone at once". In the journal article, Zuckerberg challenged the pessimistic view on AI and employment, stating he did not understand how one could believe in AI’s ability to “eliminate most jobs and much of humanity’s relevance” while wanting to make it happen anyway, and argued that as AI technology becomes more accessible, it becomes possible to establish new companies, which will create more employment.
