Meta's Alexandr Wang Unveils 'Personal Superintelligence' Ambition Centred on India
Meta's Alexandr Wang pitches 'personal superintelligence' at India AI Impact Summit, highlighting India's key role. (
At the ongoing AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, top executives from Meta outlined ambitious plans to advance what they call “personal superintelligence” — AI systems designed to function as highly capable personal agents that understand users and act on their behalf.
Addressing summit delegates on Thursday, Alexandr Wang, Meta’s newly appointed Chief AI Officer and head of the company’s Superintelligence Labs, said India is a pivotal market for scaling these next‑generation AI agents due to its large and rapidly expanding user base across Meta’s platforms. He noted that India’s ecosystem — including consumer AI startups — positions the country as a “very positive case study” for broad AI adoption.
Wang’s remarks came amid discussions on how AI can evolve from passive tools into proactive personal assistants that work continuously for individuals. He described “personal superintelligence” as technology that goes beyond search or simple task automation — AI that understands user goals and takes meaningful actions toward them across digital experiences.

The summit, billed as the first major global AI forum hosted by a Global South nation, has drawn participation from world leaders, tech executives, and policymakers. However, the event has also faced organisational challenges, including the high‑profile withdrawal of Bill Gates from a keynote address and logistical issues that have drawn public scrutiny.
Meta’s focus on using India as a springboard for deploying advanced AI reflects broader strategic interest in the region. With more than half a billion users on its platforms, the company sees India as a crucial environment to test and scale AI innovations that could later be adapted globally.
Analysts say the emphasis on “personal superintelligence” signals a shift in the industry toward AI models that interact more deeply with individuals’ daily digital lives, though questions remain about privacy safeguards, ethical use, and equitable access as such technologies mature.
