On August 10, Mark Zuckerberg published a letter titled “The Future for Everyone,” a manifesto laying out his vision for how superintelligence could improve people’s lives, expand human capability, and distribute the benefits of artificial intelligence more broadly.Zuckerberg advocated for wider distribution of AI access across countries and companies as “the path to a positive AI future,” sharing ways in which Meta is trying to make it happen.
Rest of World spoke to six AI observers from around the world about what they made of the letter, and whether AI can really become the great equalizer Zuckerberg envisions.
Some asked who gets to decide what “everyone” means. Others highlighted how access doesn’t always equal power.
Their responses have been edited for length and clarity.
