When artificial general intelligence eventually arrives, will it be our servant? Our master? Or something else altogether, maybe even something supernatural? As a routine precaution, I for one welcome whatever form our new AI creations take. But Meta maestro Mark Zuckerberg reckons his competition in the AI industry are actually suffering from what you might call a God delusion."I find it a pretty big turnoff when people in the tech industry talk about building this 'one true AI,'.
He has a point, although he makes it without any sense of irony. After all, Meta gives every bit the impression of wanting to own absolutely as much of our digital lives as humanly possible. Much of the rest of the interview covered Zuckerberg's vision of the future, which largely involves smartglasses gradually replacing smartphones. Zuckerberg doesn't see that happening immediately, he still thinks we'll have phones in our pockets in 10 years. It's just we'll be reaching for them a lot less often.
