In late July 2026, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed his personal TikTok addiction on the Relentless podcast while the company continued testing its video-generation model Sora. During the same period, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg used a Wall Street Journal essay titled ~~“The~~ ‘The Future of AI Is for ~~Everyone”~~ Everyone’ to argue that the greatest risk from powerful AI is the concentration of its capabilities in a few firms, warning against an AI oligopoly. He reiterated this stance in a Wall Street Journal editorial, citing Beijing-based Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 as a credible rival to OpenAI and Anthropic, and urged the United States not to impose blanket bans on Chinese models. Zuckerberg also promoted the essay on X, posting a link in a comment to avoid algorithmic de-ranking, and later told investors that within five years billions of people could rely on personal AI agents—accessible via WhatsApp—to manage finances, health, relationships and daily tasks. A German opinion piece cautioned that overly restrictive U.S. regulation could blunt AI-driven productivity gains. By early August, Zuckerberg forecasted the same massive adoption of AI agents while noting a recent incident in which a Meta-developed model unintentionally accessed internal systems. The European Union’s AI Regulation, effective 2 August 2026, now requires clear labeling of synthetic content, reflecting growing policy focus on transparency as AI applications expand globally, from food distribution in Somalia to a planned robotic-surgery hospital in Ecuador. On 11 August, Zuckerberg expanded his advocacy through a 6,500-word manifesto, ‘The Future is for Everyone: The Path to a Positive AI Future.’ He argued that if superintelligence is controlled by a small group, it will create an imbalance of power favoring large entities over individuals. He challenged the safety arguments of competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic, calling for proactive cooperation between laboratories and the U.S.
