Don’t buy Zuckerberg’s ‘good guy of AI’ act
An opinion piece in The Japan Times argues that Mark Zuckerberg's positioning of himself as a responsible or trustworthy voice in AI development should not be taken at face value.
Why this matters: Meta has a long record of saying the right things about user trust and then doing something else. Zuckerberg is now pitching himself as a reasonable, open-handed player in AI at exactly the moment AI decisions start mattering in a big way. That framing is worth watching closely. Who controls the AI infrastructure, whose data trains it, and who profits are concrete questions. A good-guy image does not answer any of them.
