Mark Zuckerberg has expressed disagreement with how Google and OpenAI are approaching AI development, likening their efforts to creating a singular, god-like AI. In an interview with YouTuber Kane Sutter, Zuckerberg shared his views on Meta’s AI strategy, AI Studio, and Ray-Ban Meta, among other topics. He emphasized that the future will not be dominated by a single AI but by multiple AIs serving different purposes.
Zuckerberg drew parallels to how people use multiple apps, follow various creators, and shop from different businesses. He noted that while Meta, like Google and OpenAI, has a primary AI chatbot, they are focusing on developing a range of specialized AIs for diverse applications.
This interview followed Meta’s announcement of early testing for AI Studio in the US. AI Studio will allow creators to develop AI avatars that can interact with users on Instagram, answering questions and engaging in chats while being clearly marked as “AI.”
Zuckerberg also discussed advancements in Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and holographic displays. He believes that smart glasses, even without displays, can offer valuable experiences through cameras, microphones, and AI, keeping costs lower than high-end devices like the Meta Quest Pro. He outlined three types of products: display-less smart glasses, heads-up displays, and full holographic displays, also mentioning future technologies like wristbands that interpret brain signals for neural interfaces. These innovations are expected to complement, not replace, smartphones.
Zuckerberg predicts that even in 10 years, people will still use smartphones, albeit less obsessively, as they increasingly adopt functional smart glasses for quick tasks.
