Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s AI Era | The Circuit | Bloomberg Originals
You said your goal is getting to artificial general intelligence?
Yeah. Or AGI. How do you define AGI, and do you get there first? Yeah, no, well, it’s a good question. We’re basically already starting to work on Llama 4 and our goal is to completely close the gap with all the others on that. So, I don’t know. I mean, do we get to AGI first? I mean, I think that there’ll probably be some breakthroughs between now and then. It’s hard to just predict in a straight line. Then you get to the more complicated question, which is like, what is it? I don’t know that there’s, like, one specific definition for this, ’cause I think intelligence is, it’s multi-variate, right? It’s not like there’s one number that is your intelligence. So, there’s probably a specific aspect of intelligence or modality which is like reading people’s faces and emotions and that’s something that I care about. So, I think we’ll probably try to build that in at some point. You know, what we’re trying to help enable the whole community to do is create all these different AIs for all these things that people want to do. And I don’t know, that’s kind of how I think this ends up being a good thing for the world.
Facebook and you have been blamed for a lot of things. Whether you agree or not, why should we trust you with AI?
Well, it’s a loaded question. We have gotten blamed for a lot of things. And I mean, look, I take our role in all this stuff seriously and I think we’ve tried to handle all this as well as possible. I’m not sure that it’s all been fair, but, like, I’d like to think that we’re an important and relevant company. So, I think the scrutiny is generally healthy. One of the defining things around open source is that anyone can scrutinize the work. And because of that, I think it just puts a lot of pressure to make sure that the quality of the work that you’re doing gets better really quickly.
