Echoing sentiments shared in his \u201csuperintelligence\u201d-focused blog post<\/a> this morning, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expanded on his bullish ideas that glasses will be the primary way users interact with AI in the years ahead. During Meta\u2019s second-quarter earnings call, the social networking exec told investors he believes people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI continue to think that glasses are basically going to be the ideal form factor for AI, because you can let an AI see what you see throughout the day, hear what you hear, [and] talk to you,\u201d Zuckerberg said during the earnings call. Adding a display to those glasses will then unlock more value, he said, whether that\u2019s a wider, holographic field of view, as with Meta\u2019s next-gen Orion AR glasses<\/a>, or a smaller display that might ship in everyday AI eyewear.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in the future, if you don\u2019t have glasses that have AI \u2014 or some way to interact with AI \u2014 I think you\u2019re\u00a0\u2026 probably [going to] be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage compared to other people,\u201d Zuckerberg added.<\/p>\n

Meta has been focused on building smart glasses, like its Ray-Ban Meta glasses<\/a> and, more recently, Oakley Meta glasses<\/a>. The glasses let users listen to music, take photos or videos, and ask Meta AI questions, including about what they\u2019re seeing, among other things. These wearables have turned into a surprise hit for the company, as revenue from sales of the Ray-Ban Metas more than tripled year-over-year,<\/a> according to glasses giant EssilorLuxottica. <\/p>\n

But Zuckerberg believes there\u2019s more to be done with displays. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is\u00a0\u2026 what we\u2019ve been maxing out with Reality Labs over the last 5 to 10 years \u2014 basically doing the research on all these different things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Reality Labs division has been a money pit for the company, so it\u2019s not surprising the exec wants to justify its cost to investors by positioning it as a bet on the future of AI and consumer computing in general. For example, Meta said Reality Labs\u2019 operating loss was $4.53 billion<\/a> in the second quarter. Since 2020, the unit has lost nearly $70 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the future of consumer AI may or may not be in the form of glasses. This spring, OpenAI acquired former Apple executive Jony Ive\u2019s startup in a $6.5 billion deal<\/a> to build new consumer devices for interacting with AI. Already, other startups have dabbled in this area as well, including in form factors like AI pins \u2014 such as with Humane\u2019s flop<\/a> \u2014 and pendents, like those from Limitless<\/a> and Friend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glasses, for now, seem to make the most sense, as many people already wear them, and they\u2019re more socially acceptable. But the world didn\u2019t know it needed smartphones, either, until someone dreamed them up. The next AI device could be something we can\u2019t even imagine yet.<\/p>\n

Still, Zuckerberg cheers the idea that glasses are going to be it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other thing that\u2019s awesome about glasses is they are going to be the ideal way to blend the physical and digital worlds together,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the whole Metaverse vision, I think, is going to\u00a0\u2026 end up being extremely important, too, and AI is going to accelerate that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Echoing sentiments shared in his \u201csuperintelligence\u201d-focused blog post this morning, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expanded on his bullish…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":106810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,49720,7798,340,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-106809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-glasses","10":"tag-mark-zuckerberg","11":"tag-meta","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114946324775226498","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
