Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg argues that artificial intelligence developers should set their own safety pace rather than adhering to a broad industry slowdown. He claims that alignment and trust will become key competitive advantages, as users will avoid agents that are misaligned with their needs. The company delayed the shipment of its Muse agent for several months to prioritize security and safety without requesting that other labs pause their work.

Meta allocates the majority of its compute power to serving users instead of pursuing recursive self-improvement. Zuckerberg also advocated for the use of independent evaluators and advisors, stating that the company already utilizes such external reviews to improve its work. These comments follow recent industry debates among technology executives about how to prevent AI systems from causing human harm.
