AI eyewear set to become primary computing devices, as per Mark Zuckerberg, heralding an era of individual super-intelligence
Mark Zuckerberg Outlines Vision for Personal Superintelligence
In a recent post on his Instagram account, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has shared his vision for the development of personal superintelligence. Zuckerberg believes that this new era of AI could usher in a period of personal empowerment, accelerating human progress and granting people greater agency to direct AI towards what they value most.
According to Zuckerberg, personal superintelligence is AI that empowers individuals to improve their lives and create what they aspire to. This transformative technology could help people achieve personal goals, create new things, and improve their relationships. The decisive period for determining the path of superintelligence is considered to be the rest of this decade.
Regarding the role of personal devices in this vision, Zuckerberg envisions glasses that can see, hear, and interact with users as the primary computing devices. Examples of such devices include the Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta AI Glasses. These glasses could serve as an on-the-go interface enabling real-time AI assistance, enhancing everyday tasks and human-computer interaction.
Zuckerberg's vision for personal superintelligence aligns with Meta's aim to build and deliver this technology at a massive scale, accessible to billions of people through its technology and platforms. However, the potential for superintelligence to be a tool for personal empowerment or a force that replaces large parts of society is a topic of ongoing discussion.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has expressed ambiguity about the power of AI, showing a mix of fear and awe. The theme of AI being used for good or evil is a concern for CEOs, including Altman.
Zuckerberg's letter is reminiscent of Altman's long blog posts, both outlining their visions for the future of AI and the ethical considerations that come with it. It remains to be seen whether the reality of superintelligence will match or diverge from the portrayals in movies, but one thing is certain: we are building towards a tipping point where superintelligence becomes a reality.
