Meta is reorganizing its workforce by moving roughly 7,000 employees into new artificial‑intelligence‑focused roles and consolidating them into four new units, while simultaneously cutting about 10 % of its staff—approximately 8,000 jobs—and leaving roughly 6,000 open positions unfilled. The shift, announced in an internal memo and expected to be detailed on Wednesday, is presented as a move to run the company more efficiently and to fund its growing AI investments across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and other businesses. Meta’s CFO noted that AI tools are already boosting engineering productivity, but the changes come amid a broader trend of Silicon‑Valley firms betting on AI, and they have coincided with a near‑9 % drop in Meta’s stock this year and cautious analyst commentary about the sustainability of the AI‑spending cycle.
