Meta Announces 4,000 Layoffs as Part of AI-Driven Restructuring

WhatsAppWhatsAppFacebookFacebookTwitterTwitterPinterestPinterestRedditRedditGmailGmailShareShare

Meta announced its layoff of 4,000 employees citing the need to align with its newly increased AI-driven goals. This is part of a larger restructuring program of the company during which it proceeds with reorganizing some headquarters functions toward AI enhancement while at the same time cutting costs. The layoffs accounted for 5% of Meta’s staff by reducing the tech company’s workforce to re-center itself and optimize productivity in the AI related sectors. 

This meta firing and their reason has sparked concerns on social media saying that “Wonder if AI is starting to do what everyone thought it would but no one wants to say it out loud?”

The announcement causes concerns that an increase in the reliance on artificial intelligence could someday replace human workforces off their jobs. While AI might serve the purpose of providing efficiency, the decision to lay off intertwined with the restructuring has led to creeping fears that automation and machine learning might replace even more human roles in the tech sector.
