Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing that superintelligence should be accessible to everyone, not just a handful of companies and institutions.
He argues that a monopoly on superintelligence by a few is more dangerous than widespread access. Institutions that control such power could directly influence the economy, scientific research, and politics.
He also predicts that the biggest value of superintelligence won't be replacing human labor, but helping people invent new drugs, improve businesses, and create new products. With wider access, starting a company would become easier, and jobs could even increase.
On safety, he advocates for a system of checks and balances between individuals and institutions. Cybersecurity can rely on open collaboration, while high-risk capabilities like bioweapons require government oversight.
