Zuckerberg Pitches Meta's Optimistic AI Vision

According to Axios, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday outlined an optimistic view of an agentic future, saying the company's mission to connect people will be strengthened by new AI tools and technologies. In a Facebook post and accompanying video ad, Zuckerberg said Meta has always aimed to give people the power to share, connect, and shape their world, and that the company wants AI benefits to be distributed to everyone. The ad is part of a broader paid and earned media campaign promoting Meta's AI vision, and it contrasts Meta's approach with rivals that, according to the ad, portray AI in more fear-driven and dystopian terms. Axios also reported that several AI companies are leaning more heavily on enterprise customers, while Meta is emphasizing broad, free and accessible technology.
