Zuckerberg admits Meta expected the metaverse before advanced AI, but now sees personal superintelligence arriving first and mattering more, so it has refocused its devices strategy.
Because when we started building glasses, we thought at the time that the metaverse, this idea of bringing the physical and digital worlds together, we thought that that would come first and that advanced AI would come later. But now it is actually quite clear that personal superintelligence will not only come first, it will be much bigger and more important. So we have shifted our focus to building the best devices for personal superintelligence.
