Meta Frames Superintelligence as Empowerment

Meta publicly positions 'personal superintelligence' as a deliberate alternative to centralized automation and universal basic income narratives, pitching AI as a way to expand individual agency (help people pursue personal goals) rather than primarily replace labor. The piece commits Meta’s product strategy (glasses, device integration, infrastructure) to that framing and flags selective openness and safety tradeoffs. — If Big Tech succeeds in defining superintelligence as a personal empowerment tool, public debates over AI policy, labor markets, device regulation, and data governance will pivot from abstract risk arguments to concrete contestation over who controls personal agents and their data.
