Mark Zuckerberg sees a future where not wearing AI glasses would be considered a ‘cognitive disadvantage’

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts that not having smart glasses will become a “cognitive disadvantage.”

  • Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts not wearing smart glasses will become a “cognitive disadvantage.”
  • Zuckerberg sees glasses as the “ideal form factor” for AI.
  • Meta has been ramping up its glasses business by partnering with Ray-Ban and Oakley.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg thinks smart glasses are the future.

During Meta’s second-quarter earnings call, Zuckerberg doubled down on the idea that smart glasses will soon become the main way people interact with AI and replace other devices as “primary computing devices.”

“I continue to think that glasses are basically going to be the ideal form factor for AI,” he told investors on Wednesday’s call, adding that wearables with cameras, microphones, and displays will unlock new levels of utility.

“I think in the future, if you don’t have glasses that have AI or some way to interact with AI, I think you’d probably be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage compared to other people,” Zuckerberg said.

Zuckerberg’s bullish sentiments on AI wearables echo his letter earlier in the day, which predicted the rise of “personal superintelligence.”

“Personal superintelligence that knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve them will be by far the most useful,” wrote Zuckerberg in the letter published on Meta’s blog.

Meta has been ramping up its wearables business with its Ray-Ban smart glasses and a recent partnership with Oakley. The devices let users stream music, take photos, record video, and ask Meta’s chatbot about what they’re seeing.

Sales have been “accelerating,” according to the earnings report, and helped drive a revenue increase of nearly 5% for the Reality Labs division.

Meta has also been investing billions in acquiring AI talent, often from competing companies with jaw-dropping offers. Zuckerberg invested $15 billion in Scale AI to bring its CEO, Alexandr Wang, into the fold and lured at least four employees from OpenAI, one of whom is a co-creator of ChatGPT.

Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
