Meta公司裁員10%，人工智慧接手工作量

Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has announced that it will cut about 10 percent of its workforce, which means around 8,000 employees will lose their jobs next month. This decision comes as Meta plans to spend more money than ever before on artificial intelligence, or AI. According to a memo sent to employees, Meta will spend $135 billion on AI this year, which is about the same amount it spent on AI in the last three years combined. The company will also stop hiring for thousands of open positions.

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's co-founder and CEO, has been talking about how important AI is for the company's future. He said that workers who use AI tools are much more productive, and that by 2026, AI will change the way people work in a big way. Because of this, Meta is focusing its money and energy on AI projects, which means there is less money for other parts of the company. Some employees are worried because Meta will also start monitoring how they use their work computers to help train its AI models. One worker called this 'dystopian' because it feels unfair to watch employees so closely, especially when so many jobs are being cut.

Meta has already cut about 2,000 jobs in smaller rounds earlier this year, and other tech companies like Amazon, Oracle, Block, and Snap have also laid off workers as they invest more in AI. Microsoft is offering some employees voluntary buyouts, which means they can choose to leave the company with extra pay. Most of these companies say that AI is making it possible to do more work with fewer people, so they do not need as many employees as before. This is a big change for the tech industry, and many workers are anxious about what the future will bring as AI becomes more important in their jobs.
