Mark Zuckerberg has published a new letter outlining Meta’s ambitious strategy for the future of artificial intelligence, coining the term “personal superintelligence” to describe his vision. In the statement, the Meta CEO makes the bold claim that after observing early signs of AI systems learning to improve themselves, the emergence of superintelligence is now “in sight.”
At the core of Zuckerberg’s vision is a fundamental philosophical choice about the role of AI in society. Rather than developing centralized AI systems designed for mass automation, he envisions a future where every person has their own AI assistant. This personal superintelligence would be deeply attuned to an individual’s unique goals, values, and context, acting as a tool to empower them. Zuckerberg sees these assistants being accessible through everyday devices like smart glasses, becoming an integral part of how people create, explore, and grow.

Zuckerberg explicitly contrasts Meta’s approach with what he sees as a competing vision within the tech industry—one that views superintelligence as a system for producing universal output and providing for humanity on a mass scale. Meta, he argues, is focused on building tools that help individuals pursue their personal aspirations. This, he says, continues the historical arc of technology expanding human creativity, health, scientific discovery, and relationships, rather than replacing human agency.
Acknowledging the immense power of this future technology, Zuckerberg states that AI safety will be a critical component of Meta’s development process. He also suggests that the company will be thoughtful and strategic in deciding which aspects of its AI research and models to open source, a key point of debate within the tech community.
With this letter, Zuckerberg aims to position Meta as a leader in the next decade of AI development. His stated goal is to deliver superintelligence at scale, but with a clear commitment to a future where these powerful systems are built for people, not just for productivity.
