It appears Meta is gearing up for significant workforce reductions, with reports suggesting the tech giant could be looking to cut 20% or more of its staff. This comes as the company grapples with the substantial costs associated with its ambitious artificial intelligence infrastructure investments.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that Meta's leadership has begun signalling these potential cuts to other senior executives, urging them to develop strategies for streamlining operations. The exact timing and final scale of these layoffs are still undetermined, but the move is reportedly aimed at offsetting the immense financial outlay required for AI development and to prepare for a future where AI-assisted employees enhance overall efficiency.
If the 20% figure is realised, these layoffs would represent the most substantial since Meta's "year of efficiency" restructuring in late 2022 and early 2023. At the close of last year, the company had nearly 79,000 employees. This potential downsizing follows recent reports from The New York Times suggesting that Meta has postponed the release of its next flagship AI model, having seemingly fallen behind key competitors like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic in the AI race.
