- Zuckerberg says AI should be widely accessible, not controlled by a handful of organizations.
- White House AI adviser David Sacks backed Meta’s vision for broad AI access and openness.
- Meta says open AI can drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and stronger long-term competition.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has outlined his vision for an AI-powered future where superintelligence is widely available instead of being controlled by a small number of institutions. His position has also received support from White House AI adviser David Sacks.
In a post on X, Zuckerberg said he had written about “why we believe the future is for everyone”. He also hinted at more announcements that will outline “a positive vision for a world with superintelligence.”
Zuckerberg Argues Against Centralized AI Control
In an opinion piece published by the Wall Street Journal, Zuckerberg said the biggest question is not whether superintelligence will exist. Instead, he argued that the real issue is whether access will be limited to a few organizations or made widely available.
He said his vision is based on three principles: individual empowerment, invention as the main purpose of superintelligence, and a balance of power as the foundation of AI safety.
According to Zuckerberg, history shows that concentrating power slows innovation and limits human potential. He argued that widely available AI would help people start businesses, make new discoveries, improve healthcare, and solve problems, rather than simply automate existing jobs.
The Meta CEO also rejected the idea that a single “benevolent” superintelligence or a small group of experts should decide what is best for society. He said humanity’s diverse values make that approach unrealistic.
David Sacks Backs Zuckerberg’s Vision
Sacks, who serves as White House Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisers on Science & Technology, praised Zuckerberg’s position. He highlighted Zuckerberg’s argument that the key question is who will have access to superintelligence.
Sacks said the biggest long-term risk is AI becoming concentrated in a small number of laboratories. He argued that institutions controlling access to advanced AI models could ultimately shape “what can be said, known, and built.” In his view, that is a question of power, not safety.
He also pointed to the history of open-source software. According to Sacks, transparency and broad access have generally produced stronger security and greater resilience than centralized approval systems.
Meta Says AI Can Boost Entrepreneurship
Beyond AI governance, Zuckerberg predicted that broadly available superintelligence could create more jobs instead of eliminating them. He said this would happen if AI is used to empower people rather than replace workers.
He argued that AI would make it easier to start businesses by lowering barriers to entry and reducing the need for large amounts of capital. That, he said, would encourage a more entrepreneurial economy where individuals and small businesses can compete more effectively.
Zuckerberg acknowledged that risks such as cybersecurity and biological threats require careful oversight. However, he argued that open access, combined with targeted coordination where necessary, is a better approach than concentrating AI capabilities in the hands of a few organizations.
He concluded that Meta remains committed to developing superintelligence based on the principles of individual empowerment, invention, and a balanced distribution of power.
