Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said artificial intelligence companies have sufficient incentives to develop AI systems safely, as debate grows over the risks associated with increasingly powerful technology.
Zuckerberg argued that competition, legal responsibilities and the need to maintain public trust give AI companies strong reasons to prioritize safety while continuing to advance their technology.
His comments come amid growing calls from some technology leaders and policymakers for greater safeguards around AI development. The debate has intensified as companies race to build more capable AI models and autonomous systems.
Zuckerberg said companies can take individual steps to address potential risks without necessarily slowing the broader pace of AI innovation. Meta has previously delayed the release of some AI products while conducting additional safety assessments.
The comments reflect a wider industry debate over how to balance rapid AI development with responsible deployment and safeguards against potential risks.
