Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future
His “Superintelligence” – Focused blog posts This morning, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expanded his bullish idea that glasses will become the main way to interact with AI in the coming years. During Meta’s second quarter revenue calls, social networking executives told investors they believe people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future.
“We continue to think that glasses will essentially be the ideal form factor for AI because we can see what you see all day long and hear you hear. We said adding a display to these glasses will unlock more valuable value. Meta’s next generation Orion AR glassesor small displays that could be shipped to daily AI eyewear.
“In the future, if you don’t have glasses that have AI or how to interact with AI, you probably have a pretty important cognitive disadvantage compared to others,” Zuckerberg added.
Meta is focused on building smart glasses. Ray-Ban Meta Glass And recently, Oakley Metagrass. Glasses allow users to listen to music, take photos and videos, and ask meta AI questions. These wearables have turned into a surprising hit for the company as revenue from Ray-Ban Metas sales. More than three times the previous year, According to Glasses giant Essilorluxottica.
But Zuckerberg believes there is more to do on display.
“This is… what we’ve made the most out of reality labs over the last five to ten years. We’re basically doing research into all these different things,” he said.
As the Reality Labs division is the company’s money pit, it’s no surprise that executives want to justify their costs to investors by betting on the future of AI and consumer computing in general. For example, Meta said by Reality Lab. The operating loss was $4.53 billion Second quarter. Units have lost since 2020 Almost $70 billion.
However, the future of consumer AI may or may not be in the form of glasses.

Glasses seem to make the most sense, as many people already wear them for now, and they are more socially acceptable. But the world didn’t know that they needed a smartphone either until someone dreamed of them. The next AI device may be something we still can’t even imagine.
Still, Zuckerberg supports the idea that glasses will become that.
“The great thing about glasses is that they’re an ideal way to blend the physical and digital worlds,” he said. “So I think the whole metaverse vision is going to be very important in the end. AI will accelerate that.”
