Personal Superintelligence: Meta's Vision of Individual Empowerment

By Mark

Introduction

In a world where AI steadily advances, the concept of personal superintelligence—AI tailored to empower individual lives—emerges as a defining vision for the future. Meta's perspective is not just about more powerful machines, but about amplifying human agency and creativity.

From Survival to Self-Realization

Only two centuries ago, 90% of people were farmers. Technology has since freed society to pursue science, creativity, and human connection. Today, we stand at another inflection point as superintelligence comes into view.

What is Personal Superintelligence?

  • AI systems that improve themselves
  • Technology to help you learn, create, experience adventures, build relationships, and become who you aspire to be
  • Devices (like smart glasses) that understand your world, context, and ambitions

Meta's Approach: Power to the Individual

Meta envisions:

  • Personal superintelligence for everyone—not centrally controlled
  • AI as an assistant for creativity and connection, not just productivity
  • A world where each person steers their own empowered journey

"We believe in putting this power in people's hands to direct it towards what they value in their own lives."

Safety, Openness, and the Decisive Decade

There are real challenges:

  • Safety: Addressing novel risks
  • Openness: Sharing benefits widely, while being careful with open source risks
  • Decisiveness: The rest of 2020s will determine whether superintelligence empowers individuals or replaces human roles.

Conclusion

Meta is investing to build the infrastructure for this new era, aiming to enable billions of people to lead richer, more empowered lives through personal superintelligence.
