In a week where an AI model went rogue and broke out of a secure test environment—and in a year where seemingly all we're hearing is how AI can displace large swaths of the workforce—it may come as a surprise when one of the tech's most prominent voices is pushing an optimistic view of the tech, joining the many in his field who have recently walked back comments of how it could negatively impact workers.
"As we enter this next wave with AI, we continue to believe the future is for everyone," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote as the caption to a short video on Thursday, harkening back to the company's early years of tech optimism.
"Call us optimists, call us dreamers, call us whatever the ****** you want, but we're betting on people, and we like those odds," the voiceover in the video said.
The video featured montages of people using Instagram, Whatsapp, FaceBook and Meta's Ray-Ban glasses to film touching moments and connect with loved ones, with the backdrop of concerts and snowboarding and laughing children set to calm music as the voiceover framed Meta's AI efforts as doubling down on betting on people, just like the company did 22 years ago with FaceBook.
Marketing experts told Fortune that the Meta video's reliance on nostalgic imagery seemed like a way to redirect attention from AI concerns and to buffer against growing AI fears.

Nordic combined athletes around the world are mourning the sport's disappearance from the Olympic stage after the International Olympic Committee announced Tuesday it was cutting the discipline from the 2030 Games in favor of freeride skiing and snowboarding.
The sport, which features ski jumping and cross-country skiing, has been a part of every Winter Olympics since the Games began in 1924. But in a rare move, the IOC cut the discipline, citing struggling viewership, audience and podium diversity and depth.
"Today the biggest defeat didn't happen on the field," wrote French Nordic combined athlete Romane Baud on Instagram. "It happened in the IOC meeting room. Congratulations iocofficial you broke thousand hearts and dreams."
The decision is particularly heartbreaking for women's Nordic combined athletes such as Baud, who never got to compete at the Olympic level in the first place. Nordic combined has been men-only at the Olympics, and it was the only sport at the 2026 Games without a women's competition.
Though women's Nordic combined didn't host its first World Cup season until 2020-21, advocacy had grown since then to add a women's category to the Olympic program. In 2022, the IOC denied the request for the 2026 Games, instead telling the entire sport it needed to grow its profile to keep its spot in the Olympics.
