According to sources cited by foreign media, Meta is gearing up for a significant round of layoffs, which could potentially affect 20% or more of its current workforce. This strategic move is aimed at mitigating the escalating costs associated with AI infrastructure investments and setting the stage for the integration of AI-assisted or fully AI-driven tasks. At present, both the exact date and the final scope of these layoffs remain undetermined. Should the layoffs proceed at the projected 20% rate, considering Meta's workforce of approximately 79,000 employees by the end of 2025, an estimated 16,000 individuals would be impacted.
