Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes smart glasses are the future.
During Meta's second quarter revenue calls, Zuckerberg doubled the idea that smart glasses would soon be the main way to interact with AI and replace other devices as “primary computing devices.”
“We continue to think that glasses will essentially be the ideal form factor for AI,” he told investors on a phone Wednesday, adding that wearables with cameras, microphones and displays will unlock new levels of utility.
“In the future, if you don't have glasses that have some way of interacting with AI or some way of interacting with AI, you'll probably be at a pretty important cognitive disadvantage compared to others,” says Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg's bullish sentiment about AI wearables reflected his letter earlier in the day, predicting an increase in “personal emergency.”
“It's most useful to know us deeply, understand our goals, and help us achieve them,” wrote Zuckerberg in a letter published on Meta's blog.
Meta is strengthening its wearable business through a partnership with Ray-Ban smart glasses and Oakley. The device allows users to stream music, take photos, record videos, and ask about what they're seeing in Meta's chatbots.
Revenue reports show that sales are “accelerating” and helped to raise revenue growth in the real-world lab sector by nearly 5%.
Meta is also often investing billions to acquire AI talent from competing companies on offers that drop Jaw. Zuckerberg has invested a $15 billion scale AI to guide CEOs. Alexandre Wang, It folded and seduced at least four employees from Openai.
Meta did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
