Zuckerberg says Meta made 'mistakes' in AI workforce shift

Meta opens new tab CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told employees that the social media giant has made mistakes in ​its AI transformation of its workforce, according to an internal memo seen ‌by Reuters.
Zuckerberg is pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into AI as he seeks to reshape his company's inner workings around the technology, reflecting a broader pattern among major U.S. companies this year, particularly ​in the tech sector.

In the memo, Zuckerberg describes the rapid advances in AI ​and the challenges brought on by the boom in the technology.
"Given ⁠the complexity of these changes, we've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more," ​Zuckerberg said, adding that he is also "focused on providing as much stability as possible" in ​terms of organization changes going forward.

"I don't want to overpromise because the world is changing in ways that are out of our control," he said, reiterating that Meta does not expect more company-wide layoffs this ​year.

He said Meta will try to find new roles for employees reassigned to train ​AI models, after the Facebook owner carried out a massive restructuring in May, laying off 10% of its ‌workforce ⁠globally and transferring 7,000 employees to new initiatives related to AI workflows.
