I am optimistic that this is going to be a very positive future for everyone. There is a lot of rhetoric filled with doom, but there are a number of labs working on advanced AI, and I do not think we need industry-wide coordination in order not to mess this up. Each lab needs to take the time, when it sees issues, to make sure it is proceeding safely. We are entering a phase where trust and alignment will be the most important next set of capabilities." > **— Mark Zuckerberg**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/AI Control/Responsible AI Labs Can Build a Positive Future for Everyone by Mark Zuckerberg|Responsible AI Labs Can Build a Positive Future for Everyone by Mark Zuckerberg]]
