Zuckerberg’s 6,500-word AI manifesto turned out to be a bull’s-eye. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a long article of approximately 6,500 words on August 10, “The Future Belongs to Everyone,” systematically elaborating on the vision of “personal superintelligence.” He advocates that superintelligence should not be concentrated in the hands of a few institutions, but should be distributed to every ordinary person to achieve security and prosperity through the balance of interests among individuals. The article envisions a future where everyone will have a PhD-level, infinitely patient, personalized AI tutor, as well as a super-intelligent lawyer. It also promises to provide free or low-cost AI tools to billions of people, and users with high computing power needs will pay through a dynamic auction mechanism. However, TechCrunch published an opinion article, pointing out that this declaration exposes the core dilemma faced by the technology industry in promoting the popularization of AI-the lack of public trust. Commentators believe that Zuckerberg deliberately avoided the real harm that AI has caused when describing a bright future. This selective blindness has exacerbated rather than alleviated public uneasiness. The huge gap between the beautiful vision and the cruel reality. Taking the education scene as an example, it is pointed out that the AI ​​personalized tutor products described by Zuckerberg actually already exist - ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all have assisted learning capabilities. However, the main educational use of these tools in reality is to help students write assignments and papers, and due to the lack of a reliable watermarking system, teachers cannot tell which content is generated by AI. Zuckerberg said little about the negative impacts that are already occurring when he painted a picture of the future of AI education, and the refusal of one of the world’s most powerful tech leaders to acknowledge the real problems is enough to unsettle the public. The legal scene is equally contentious. Zuckerberg believes that having super-intelligent lawyers for everyone will improve judicial fairness, but TechCrunch questions that AI may also create a large number of junk lawsuits and increase the complexity of the legal system. In terms of business models, although the idea of ​​dynamic auction allocation of computing power is not new, if it directly affects the price of AI usage for ordinary users, it may bring a bad experience similar to dynamic price increases. Recent surveys show that 64% of Americans believe social media is harmful, and just a week before the declaration, a court fined Meta $567 million for harming children. Comments pointed out that Zuckerberg devoted a lot of space in his declaration to discussing the vague concept of "intelligence", and his discussion method was exactly the same as the vague defense of freedom of speech in the past. The recognition of Facebook as a product and Zuckerberg as a person among the American public is already low, and the controversies accumulated in the social media era are the source of the current heightened public anxiety about the social impact of AI. Not only does the declaration not
