Is there still hope for the Metaverse track?) Technology giant Meta's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently participated in an interview with Theo Von, delving into his visions for the future of technology, Meta's development roadmap, as well as his unique lifestyle and parenting philosophy. Here are the key points summarized for you. The next wave of Meta: AI smart glasses and holographic universe Zuckerberg vividly portrayed his future vision of the integration of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) during the interview. He believes that the current Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are just the beginning, and future glasses will seamlessly integrate AI, allowing users to see and hear everything that AI perceives. He anticipates that within the next decade, most glasses will feature AI capabilities, similar to how smartphones have replaced traditional phones, suggesting that the next killer product will transition from smartphones to smart glasses.

Furthermore, Zuckerberg predicted that 'holograms' will replace physical screens. He described a future scenario where users wearing glasses can see floating digital screens in the real world, engage in virtual table tennis matches, or have natural conversations with AI. This technology will blur the lines between the digital and physical worlds, fundamentally changing how people interact, work, and entertain themselves. Zuckerberg revealed that Meta hopes to launch glasses equipped with basic holographic projection capabilities in the coming years. Empowering AI: From scientific breakthroughs to universal creativity When discussing AI, Zuckerberg sees it not merely as a technical tool but as a force for empowerment. He believes that AI will reach the level of artificial general intelligence (AGI) or even superintelligence, but the main impact will be to empower the public with greater capabilities. He cited the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative as an example, which is leveraging AI to accelerate biological research aimed at treating, preventing, and managing all diseases. He optimistically expects AI to shorten the time needed to achieve this goal. Zuckerberg believes that AI can not only enhance scientific research and productivity but also stimulate universal creativity and 'fun.' He mentioned that the evolution of internet memes is a form of social progress, and AI will enable people to express complex ideas more easily and accurately, creating more interesting and personalized entertainment experiences. The personalized AI assistant being developed by Meta aims not only to answer questions but also to understand users, build relationships with them, and even share a sense of humor. Education, social media, and human-centered philosophy Regarding the current educational system, Zuckerberg questioned whether it is preparing for future work, especially under the pressure of student loan debt. He believes that the value of college lies more in social learning and networking rather than specific course content. He emphasized that future education should focus more on cultivating critical thinking skills, resilience in problem-solving, and AI literacy. Concerning the impact of social media, Zuckerberg stated that according to Meta's research, there is currently no conclusive evidence showing that it has a negative impact on overall well-being; rather, it helps build interpersonal relationships. He firmly believes in the wisdom of users, asserting that people will choose technology that is valuable to them rather than passively accepting it. Technology companies that adopt an arrogant attitude of 'knowing better than users' will ultimately be eliminated. Note: This point is something I want to mock; we have already seen numerous research reports showing that social media has negative effects on people, especially teenagers. Australia became the first country in the world to legislate banning social media use for those under 16 last year. Billionaire's personal life Zuckerberg emphasized that he prefers to 'experience reality in its raw form,' avoiding caffeine or drugs, and maintaining physical and mental balance through activities like Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The interview also revealed a more personal side of Zuckerberg. He shared his meeting with his wife, Priscilla (at a Harvard party where he thought he would be expelled), practical dating (eating chocolate mice every anniversary), and his daily life as a father of three daughters (the video mentions many interactions he has with his three daughters, which interested readers can watch in the video below). He stressed the importance of companionship and encouraged his daughters to engage with technology and learn coding, while also setting boundaries. He believes that parental role modeling, as well as fostering children's curiosity about the world and problem-solving abilities, is crucial. Despite being a top global technology leader, Zuckerberg exhibits a unique combination of forward-looking vision and practical life philosophy.
