Mark Zuckerberg overhauls Meta jobs and cuts thousands of roles while shifting staff into AI projects in United States and Israel offices
Meta is cutting about 10% of its global workforce while shifting thousands of employees into AI-focused roles.Summary
Meta is undergoing a major restructuring led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, affecting approximately 10% of its global workforce, or around 8,000 job cuts. Alongside these layoffs, about 7,000 workers are being reassigned to roles focused on artificial intelligence development. The changes are particularly significant in Israel, where more than 100 employees out of roughly 1,000 are losing their jobs, and around 200 are being moved into new AI positions. The company is also reducing management layers to streamline operations and speed up decision-making. This shift reflects Meta's strategic pivot toward AI as its dominant priority, even as it continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, with capital expenditures expected to exceed $100 billion this year. Analysts note that Meta is balancing its traditional advertising business with its future-focused AI and virtual reality ambitions, and additional restructuring waves may occur later in the year.
