Zuckerberg Slams AI Doomerism: Superintelligence Must Be Decentralized
新智元 · wechat · 2026-08-02
Mark Zuckerberg published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal directly challenging the prevailing "AI doomerism" and closed-model approaches in Silicon Valley. He argues that locking away the most powerful AI models for the sake of "safety" is dangerous, shifting the debate from whether superintelligence will exist to who will control it.
Zuckerberg advocates for a vision centered on individual empowerment and power decentralization. He suggests that widely distributing AI tools will create a societal balance of power, rather than relying on a single, centralized entity to act benevolently. While clarifying that Meta's approach doesn't mean open-sourcing absolutely everything—keeping gates on catastrophic risks like biotechnology—he emphasizes maximizing access. This stance aligns strategically with Meta's business model, which relies on massive consumer distribution rather than selling API access.
