Are closed-source AI companies attempting to create God? Mark Zuckerberg maintains so!
Zuckerberg Criticises Closed-Source AI Competitors
In a recent YouTube interview with Kane Sutter, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticised his competitors who promote the idea of creating a single, dominant AI, equating their efforts to “creating God.” Zuckerberg emphasised the value of open-source AI, arguing that it democratises access and innovation. He believes that a multitude of AI tools should exist to cater to diverse interests, rather than one company monopolising AI technology.
Meta’s Vision for AI and New Developments
Zuckerberg also discussed Meta’s new AI Studio software, which will allow users to build AI avatars capable of interacting with people via Instagram’s messaging system. These AI avatars, clearly labelled to avoid confusion, aim to provide engaging and fun interactions. Despite Meta’s setbacks, such as being rejected by Apple for AI integration due to privacy concerns, Zuckerberg remains focused on expanding AI technology beyond smartphones, highlighting the potential of their Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and future holographic displays.
Future of AI-Driven Devices
Looking ahead, Zuckerberg envisions a future where smart glasses and other wearable AI devices will supplement, rather than replace, smartphones. He predicts that while people will still use phones, the convenience and capabilities of AI-driven wearables will lead to more intentional phone usage. Over time, innovations like wristbands that communicate with neural interfaces could further revolutionise how we interact with technology.
