Zuckerberg argues AI will benefit the economy and society

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg addressed concerns about artificial intelligence in a long essay, taking aim at what he characterized as AI doomism.

In his message, Zuckerberg argued that AI can deliver broad benefits beyond hype, saying it will be helpful for both the economy and society, according to MarketWatch.

MarketWatch described the essay as 6,500 words and framed it as a direct response to pessimism about the technology coming from within and outside the industry.
