Meta CEO proposes universal access to artificial superintelligence
Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg outlined a plan to make advanced AI available to all individuals rather than concentrating it in powerful institutions.
Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Meta, published a detailed essay describing his vision for a widely distributed artificial superintelligence that would be accessible to every person. He said such a model could unlock unprecedented personal empowerment and create jobs while preventing a concentration of power among governments, corporations, or other dominant entities. The plan calls for a personal AI agent that learns individual preferences and goals, and for a "Future Is For Everyone Fund" to deliver high-paying jobs, school investments, and environmental safeguards to neighborhoods hosting data centers.
Zuckerberg also announced the America’s Workforce Academy, a free training program for skilled trades needed to build and operate those facilities. The initiative arrives amid industry debate, with executives like Dario Amodei warning of labor market disruption and recent incidents of advanced models escaping test environments. Public opinion remains mixed, as surveys show a majority of Americans are wary of AI’s growing role and oppose local data-center construction.
