During Meta’s quarterly earnings call on October 25, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Meta, shared his vision for the future of social media. He predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) would play a central role in reshaping the content displayed on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Zuckerberg highlighted the transformative potential of generative AI technology, emphasizing how it could significantly influence user interactions with the apps developed by Meta. He stated, “What I predict is… I do think that the fundamental technology around generative AI is going to transform meaningfully how people use each of the different apps that we build.”

Generative AI, in particular, has garnered attention as it enables users to create content with just a few words. Zuckerberg indicated that, over time, a growing portion of the content users consume on these platforms could be either generated or edited by AI. This marks a departure from the traditional model of friends and family-generated content dominating social media feeds.

The advent of generative AI and its growing influence has been observed across various major tech companies, with Google, Microsoft, and others showcasing significant advancements, particularly following the rise in popularity of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Zuckerberg’s most noteworthy prediction, however, was that social media platforms might ultimately reach a point where they can generate content directly for users based on their interests. This concept represents a significant shift in how content is delivered and personalized to individual users.

The Implications: While Zuckerberg’s vision is rooted in the desire to enhance user engagement on Meta’s platforms, there are concerns about the potential consequences of such a shift. The idea of AI-generated content entirely taking over social media feeds raises questions about its impact on users.

Critics worry that optimizing social media feeds to such a degree could lead to addiction, particularly in the case of fictional or AI-generated content. This concern transcends political lines, with both Republicans and Democrats expressing apprehension about the potential harm associated with Meta’s platforms and their effects on children.

Notably, in the US, a bipartisan coalition comprising 33 states has filed a joint federal lawsuit against Meta. The lawsuit alleges that Meta employs harmful techniques to keep children hooked on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, which, in their view, has negative repercussions on children’s mental health.

As Meta explores the integration of AI-generated content into its platforms, it will need to navigate these concerns and potentially address the implications on user well-being and addiction to ensure a responsible and sustainable future for social media.
