About this episode

Mark Zuckerberg discusses Meta's AI initiative Muse and its implications for business and privacy.

As Meta releases Muse, Mark Zuckerberg tells me why he thinks a personal AI agent that works for you around the clock will make you money. He explains how Meta plans to make that business work and why he thinks keeping the most powerful AI models in the hands of a few companies is dangerous. We also discuss the growing backlash against data centers, Meta’s recent youth safety settlement, and the privacy scare over its smart glasses. And he shares what went wrong with Llama 4, how he rebuilt Meta’s AI lab, and what’s coming next. Thanks to the show's premier sponsors: Granola, Atlassian, and Mercury. This is a public episode.
