Search every verified Mark Zuckerberg interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Mark Zuckerberg has been discussing his vision for artificial intelligence, emphasizing that AI should amplify human abilities rather than replace people. In a June 2026 interview, he stated that directing technology development toward empowering individuals is key to a positive future, and he argued that if companies focus on making people more productive, there should be more jobs in the future, not fewer. During Meta's Q1 2026 earnings call in April, he said his view of AI differs from many in the industry, as he believes AI will amplify people's ability to improve their health, learning, relationships, and career goals. He also noted that Meta is building the next evolution of its company around individuals who can build things in a week that previously took dozens of people months. Zuckerberg has also discussed Meta's investments in AI infrastructure and open-source scientific research. On the Q1 2026 earnings call, he said the company is increasing its infrastructure capex forecast due to higher component costs, and he described the investment as a bet that individual people and their aspirations will be more important in the future. In a June 2026 podcast about the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's Biohub, he said the organization aims to accelerate scientific progress by releasing tools as open-source projects, adding that "the theory isn't that we're going to cure the diseases" but rather to help the whole scientific field move faster. He also noted that Biohub had folded over 1.1 billion proteins and predicted their structures using a model designed to understand proteins broadly, rather than targeting specific applications.
