Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned that AI could spark a bubble like the dot-com era, saying there is "definitely a possibility" of a market crash, but argued the greater danger lies in underinvesting in what he views as a transformative technology.

Zuckerberg unveils Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses that can play videos, create live subtitles for $799
The specs – which retail for $799 – have a small digital display on the lens. Customers can control the display by making certain hand gestures while wearing a special wristband called the Meta Neural Band, which acts as an EMG device, meaning it tracks electrical signals from the body.
What makes Meta’s super PAC unique is that it’s under the jurisdiction of one company, which is under the jurisdiction of one man (Zuckerberg). Other, similar PACs represent a coalition of AI companies and advocates.
This time, Zuckerberg performed the demo himself, showcasing the new neural band technology, which he calls a "huge scientific leap." The glasses pair with a wristband, Meta's innovation to replace a keyboard and mouse for smart glasses. It interprets small muscle movements in the wrist and controls the glasses.
Andrew Bosworth, Meta's tech chief, explained what went wrong in the glitchy demos at Meta Connect.
