Meta announces 600 job cuts in its AI division - "Says they didn't see it coming"

[Ken M.]

Meta is cutting 600 jobs within its AI Superintelligence Lab, the company’s artificial intelligence division.

In an internal memo first obtained by Axios and later confirmed by Scripps News, Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang said the downsizing is intended to streamline decision-making.

“By reducing the size of our team, fewer conversations will be required to make a decision, and each person will be more load-bearing and have more scope and impact,” Wang wrote.

Meta faces stiff competition from other companies that are considered leaders in the field, including OpenAI and Google.
