(KRON) -- Artificial intelligence-equipped glasses will replace cellphones as our primary personal computing devices in the near future, according to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The Meta CEO postulated that theory in a blog post Wednesday, the same day the AI-crazy Facebook parent company posted an earnings report that smashed expectations.
In the blog post, which is titled, "Personal Superintelligence," the tech billionaire laid out a vision for an AI that won't just "improve all our existing systems," but will "enable the creation and discovery of new things that aren't imaginable today."
Zuckerberg doesn't really elaborate on what those things are, assumedly since they aren't imaginable yet. But the Facebook founder repeatedly refers to a "superintelligence" that will usher in "a new era for humanity."
Zuckerberg compares our current state to the world of 200 years ago when "90% of people were farmers growing food to survive."
While this is not entirely accurate --in 1820, about 72% of the American workforce worked on farms, according to Census figures cited by the New York Times -- Zuckerberg makes the argument that "advances in technology have steadily freed" us "to focus less on subsistence and more on the pursuits we choose."
He goes on to say that he is "extremely optimistic" that superintelligence will further accelerate our progress in this area. Meta's vision, Zuckerberg says, will be to bring this "personal superintelligence to everyone."
"We believe in putting this power in people's hands to direct it towards what they value in their own lives," he continues. "Personal superintelligence that knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve them will be by far the most useful," he adds.
So, how will Meta bring personal superintelligence to everyone? By getting them to wear glasses apparently.

Vásquez, File)"Personal devices like glasses that understand our context because they can see what we see, hear what we hear, and interact with us throughout the day will become our primary computing devices," he writes.
While Zuckerberg's vision for AI might be good news for Meta's shareholders, it could be bad news for cellphone manufacturers and software companies like Asana and Basecamp.
"If trends continue, then you'd expect people to spend less time in productivity software, and more time creating and connecting," he wrote.
Zuckerberg also suggests we could be headed toward something of a crossroads with the emergence of AI. The next five years, he says, will be a "decisive period for determining the path this technology will take, and whether superintelligence will be a tool for personal empowerment or a force focused on replacing large swaths of society."
