Zuckerberg Admits Meta’s Push to Replace Workers with AI Agents Is Not Going to Plan After Major Layoffs– slaynews.com

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told staff that the company’s effort to replace human workers with AI agents is moving slower than expected, even after the tech giant cut thousands of jobs and reorganized aggressively around artificial intelligence.

The admission came during an internal town hall after months of restructuring at Meta.

Earlier this year, the company cut roughly 10% of its workforce and reassigned about 7,000 employees into new AI-focused roles.

Those moves were framed internally as urgent, as Meta raced to compete with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and other major players in the artificial intelligence arms race.
