Meta is shifting how it plans to ensure widespread access to superintelligence, a suggestion that the company’s most advanced AI may remain closed so that Meta can stay in the driver’s seat.

Earlier this week, Mark Zuckerberg published a memo outlining his vision to build AI "superintelligence." Citing "safety concerns," he wrote that Meta would need to be "rigorous" about what it open sources and what it doesn't.

Years removed from the failed promises of the metaverse, Zuckerberg has gone all-in on AI, hiring former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to lead a new “superintelligence” team at Meta, poaching top performers from rival firms like OpenAI and Apple, and making deals to build massive AI infrastructure projects.
