Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled a bold vision for the future of artificial intelligence in a new manifesto, positioning Meta as a pioneer in delivering a personal superintelligence to every individual.
Rather than centralizing automation to replace human labor — a path he subtly critiques others in the industry for pursuing — Zuckerberg envisions empowering people with their own AI assistants. He frames this as a mission of empowerment, contrasting Meta’s approach with those he implies would rather relegate humans to a life of welfare.
The irony isn’t lost: a company long criticized for harvesting user data to fuel targeted advertising is now championing personal freedom. Yet, there’s a certain logic to it — few understand personalization and its monetization better than Meta.
This shift could be less about altruism and more about leveraging their expertise in a new frontier.

Zuckerberg sees smart glasses as the cornerstone of this AI-driven future, likely referencing the Meta Reality Labs projects, which have already gulped down over $40 billion in development costs. With Meta’s vast financial resources, robust infrastructure, and billions of users, the company is well-positioned to make this a reality — though it still lags in AI leadership. To bridge that gap, Zuckerberg is aggressively recruiting top talent, building a dream team that hints at a strategy reminiscent of big-league football transfers.
Whether this approach will yield a winning AI playbook remains to be seen. For now, the manifesto (available at https://www.meta.com/superintelligence/) signals Meta’s intent to redefine the AI landscape, one personalized assistant at a time.
