Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg rejects coordinated AI slowdown calls

In an X post and accompanying remarks, Zuckerberg stated that competition and liability already provide sufficient incentives for individual AI labs to develop models safely. He noted Meta had previously delayed its Muse AI agent release to strengthen security and that the company directs the majority of its compute toward user-facing needs rather than recursive self-improvement. The position diverges from the coordinated slowdown framework supported by OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI leadership.
