“I find it really bad when people in the tech industry talk about creating this one true AI. It’s almost like they think they’re creating God or something… I don’t think it happens that way,” said Mark Zuckerberg in an interview with YouTuber Ken Sutter, where he discussed Meta’s AI strategy, AI studio, Ray Ban Meta, among other things. Mark Zuckerberg reveals in the interview that he believes it’s not going to be “just one AI” in the future. “I don’t think things happen that way,” he says.

“It’s not like there was just one app on people’s phones that people used. There’s no one creator that people wanted all their content from. There’s no one business that people wanted to buy everything from,” says Zuckerberg. He says people will eventually use different AIs for different purposes. He also gave the example of Meta. He acknowledged that like its biggest competitors like Google and OpenAI – who currently seem to be working towards “one big AI” – Meta also has a primary meta AI chatbot. But he says the company is working on building many different smaller AIs that will all have different purposes.

The interview comes shortly after Meta announced early testing of its AI Studio software in the US on Thursday. The new tool will enable creators and others to develop AI avatars capable of interacting with users through Instagram’s messaging system. These AI avatars can answer followers’ questions and engage in fun chats, while they are clearly marked as “AI” to prevent any confusion.

In the interview, Mark Zuckerberg also discussed the progress and future plans of the Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses and holographic display. He highlighted that smartglasses without a display can still provide great experiences through cameras, microphones, and AI, while keeping the cost lower than high-end devices like the Meta Quest Pro.

“I really think you can create a great experience with the power of the cameras, microphones, speakers and multimodal AI, even before there’s any kind of display on these glasses,” Zuckerberg said.

He mentioned three product types: display-less smartglasses, heads-up displays, and full holographic displays. He also touched on future advancements, such as wristbands that interpret brain signals to control neural interfaces. However, he said these technologies would not immediately replace smartphones, but would likely complement them.

For example, while people will still use their phones, they may prefer to use smartglasses for quick tasks like taking photos or sending messages. Zuckerberg believes that as these glasses become more functional, their use will grow, just as smartphones have complemented computers.

Meta’s CEO also doesn’t believe that future technology will completely replace smartphones. He thinks we’ll still be using our phones 10 years from now, but we’ll probably use it less frequently and obsessively. “I wouldn’t be surprised if 10 years from now we’ll still have phones, but it will probably be used more intentionally, rather than just holding it for the sake of some technical thing,” he said.
