Mark Zuckerberg
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Mark Zuckerberg embodies The Visionary through the sheer reach of his thesis, that smart glasses will displace the smartphone as humanity's primary computing platform and carry personal superintelligence. What distinguishes the reading is coherence, hardware design principles, neural interfaces, AI model strategy, and social behaviour woven into one arc rather than a list of bets. His leadership at Meta is forward-looking and self-directing to the point of relocating his own office toward the future he intends.
“Our theory is that glasses are the ideal form factor for personal superintelligence, because it's the only real device that you can have that can see what you see, hear what you hear, talk to you throughout the day and generate a UI in your vision in real time.”
“I moved everyone around me who sat with me, and now the lab is there. I mean, I'm pretty hands on. The chief scientist sits right next to me.”
“Every time I think of what a milestone would be in AI, they all seem to get achieved sooner than we think. My optimism about AI has generally only increased as time has gone on.”
