Zuckerberg: Superintelligence “Now in Sight” as Meta Ramps Up AI Investments
—————————-
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has declared that “superintelligence is now in sight,” as the company continues to pour billions into artificial intelligence (AI) development, The Guardian reported. This aggressive investment, which includes acquiring AI startups, attracting top talent, and constructing massive data centers, appears to be yielding results, with Meta’s AI systems reportedly beginning to show self-improvement.
Zuckerberg’s ambitious AI strategy is gaining investor confidence, reflected in Meta’s soaring stock and better-than-expected financial performance. While a precise definition of “superintelligence” remains undefined by Zuckerberg, he acknowledged the “novel safety concerns” it would introduce, emphasizing the importance of robust risk mitigation. Unlike many AI firms focused solely on productivity, Meta aims to democratize “personal superintelligence,” making it accessible to everyone.
Despite increasing capital expenditures, which reached $17.01 billion in the second quarter of 2025, Meta reported strong earnings that surpassed Wall Street expectations, forecasting continued revenue growth. The company is intensifying its recruitment efforts for AI talent and scaling its infrastructure to support its extensive AI ambitions. While Reality Labs, Meta’s metaverse division, contributes minimally to revenue, Zuckerberg remains optimistic about the future of AI glasses, with advertising revenue continuing to be Meta’s primary income driver.
