Zuckerberg says AI should empower people, not replace them, in new Meta vision

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the company’s latest vision for artificial intelligence Wednesday, arguing the technology should empower people rather than replace them.

The social media giant released a new video outlining its approach to AI, contrasting it with what it described as a growing “fear” or “dystopian” narrative surrounding the rapidly evolving technology.

The announcement comes as major technology companies race to shape the future of artificial intelligence, with Meta positioning itself as a company that believes AI should benefit everyone.

“Meta has always believed in giving people the power to share, connect, and shape your world in the ways you want,” Zuckerberg said.

“As we enter this next wave with AI, we continue to believe the future is for everyone,” he continued. “We’re focused on giving every person the tools to reach your full potential and making sure the benefits of technology are distributed to everyone.”

In the video, Meta pushed back on concerns that artificial intelligence will make people less connected or leave them behind.

“Some people will have you believe AI will make us less connected, that it’s gonna leave us behind,” the video says. “We couldn’t disagree more. Call us optimists, call us dreamers. Just as we’ve always done, we’re betting on people.”

Meta said it has connected more than 3.5 billion people and 200 million small businesses across its platforms during its 22-year history.

The company argued AI is simply the next chapter of that mission.

“Because while technology will change, our intention behind it never will,” the video says. “The future we see is one with less barriers and more breakthroughs. More tools designed to unlock your imagination. Bigger engines to drive your ingenuity.”
