Meta CEO outlines plan to make personal superintelligence widely available
Mark Zuckerberg said Meta will focus on delivering personal superintelligence tools to individuals, resume open-source model releases and launch a $1 billion fund for communities hosting its data centers.
Meta founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said the company aims to make personal superintelligence accessible to all users rather than concentrating the technology in the hands of a few institutions. In a 14-page letter titled “The Future is for Everyone: The Path to a Positive AI Future,” he argued that broad distribution of advanced AI could create economic opportunities and serve as a check on power held by governments, large businesses or other entities.
“We propose a philosophy based on individual empowerment as the source of prosperity, invention as the primary purpose of superintelligence, and balance of power as the foundation of safety,” Zuckerberg wrote.
He emphasized that AI should help people invent and create new products, not merely automate existing work, and that a balanced distribution of AI capabilities would enable individuals to compete economically, socially and politically. Zuckerberg warned that if superintelligence were controlled by a small number of actors, outcomes could be less favorable for the broader public.
Meta plans to resume releasing open-source AI models, including the 30-billion-parameter Muse Glimmer model that can run on a laptop or consumer GPU, and later the weights for a version of Muse Spark 1.2, which the company describes as a leading foundation model. Zuckerberg said the open-source ecosystem is strong and restricting it would be a mistake.
The company also announced a $1 billion “Future Is for Everyone” fund to invest in U.S. communities where Meta operates data centers. The fund will support local jobs, schools, public services and infrastructure, with the goal of ensuring that tax revenue generated by Meta’s investments benefits residents. Zuckerberg cited an example in Richland Parish, Louisiana, where teachers received bonuses linked to increased tax revenue from a new data center.
Zuckerberg concluded that developing superintelligence will be a significant technological advance and reiterated Meta’s commitment to a strategy centered on individual empowerment, invention and a balance of power that favors people.
