WASHINGTON (TNND) — Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg praised artificial intelligence while also advocating for its regulation in a lengthy post.

“We are fortunate to live at an incredible moment in history,” Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Meta.

“In the next few years, people will be able to use superintelligence beyond human capacity to create and discover extraordinary new things, build new businesses, exp-ress new ideas, learn new concepts, and advane our health and quality of life,” the post continued.

In his post, he added that the U.S. not only has to address AI restrictions, but it should also be distributed for economic opportunity.

“It is also important that the US and its allies lead the open source AI ecosystem that will make up a large percent of global AI use,” he wrote. “Foreign labs currently hold several advantages here since American labs have to comply with many additional restrictions on training data.”

Zuckerberg also called on the U.S. government to work with AI companies to test how they can be used to combat terrorism and protection against cybersecurity.

“First, we should focus on limiting the physical production and distribution of harmful materials,” he stated. “I expect it will be easier to regulate and control physical components than the spread of knowledge, so this is an important area of policy focus. Second, we should accelerate society’s ability to develop new cures and inoculate against new issues as they arise. This includes streamlining how the FDA and other regulators test and approve new treatments.”
