Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has outlined a long-term vision to build personal superintelligence, an AI systems that assist individuals in achieving their personal goals rather than replacing work at scale. 

In a blog post published on July 30, Zuckerberg said Meta will focus on developing superintelligence that “knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve them.”

“We believe in putting this power in people’s hands to direct it towards what they value in their own lives,” he wrote.

Zuckerberg contrasted Meta’s approach with others in the industry that aim to centralise superintelligence to automate all valuable work. “Some believe humanity will live on a dole of its output,” he said. “At Meta, we believe that people pursuing their individual aspirations is how we have always made progress.”

The company plans to bring this personal superintelligence to its existing products, including glasses and other devices that can interact with users throughout the day. 

“Personal devices like glasses that understand our context because they can see what we see, hear what we hear, and interact with us throughout the day will become our primary computing devices,” he said.

He also acknowledged the challenges of making such systems safe, especially when deciding what to open-source. “Superintelligence will raise novel safety concerns,” he wrote. He added that the giant aims to be rigorous about mitigating these risks and careful about what it chooses to open source.

Zuckerberg called the next few years a decisive period in shaping AI’s role in society. “It seems clear that in the coming years, AI will improve all our existing systems and enable the creation and discovery of new things,” he wrote. “But it is an open question what we will direct superintelligence towards.”

Meta’s investments in infrastructure, open models like Llama, and device platforms such as Quest and Ray-Ban Meta glasses are expected to support this shift. Zuckerberg said, “We have the resources and the expertise to build the massive infrastructure required, and the capability and will to deliver new technology to billions of people across our products.”

He added that as the abundance produced by AI becomes more profound, having personal superintelligence will have an even more meaningful impact on our lives.
