Mark Zuckerberg does not rule out further layoffs at Meta
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg did not rule out the possibility of further layoffs in the future, explaining that planned job cuts are linked to investments in artificial intelligence. He noted that the company has two main cost centers: computing infrastructure and employees, and increased funding in one area may lead to reduced investment in another. While he emphasized that the layoffs are not directly related to the new AI-focused structure, he acknowledged that additional cuts are planned for the second half of the year, following a previous decision to lay off nearly 10% of the workforce on May 20.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has attributed planned staff reductions to investments in artificial intelligence. He did not rule out the possibility of further layoffs in the future. This was reported by Ixbt.com xabar.
"The company has two main cost centers: computing infrastructure and personnel. If we invest more in one area, there is less capital available for others," Zuckerberg said.
According to him, the staff reductions are not related to the new structure of Meta teams focused on artificial intelligence. Engaging all employees in the use of artificial intelligence tools will not lead to layoffs.
Meta intends to lay off approximately 10 percent of its staff on May 20. Additional reductions are planned for the second half of the year.
"I wish I could say I have a crystal ball that allows me to foresee how events will unfold over the next three years. But I don't have one," the company head emphasized.
