Meta Cuts 8K Jobs, Bets Big on AI

from The Daily News Now! Business

Metas Chief People Officer, Janelle Gale, announces a significant workforce reduction of 8,000 jobs, aiming to streamline operations and boost AI investments. This move aligns with Silicon Valleys trend of trimming staff to fuel AI advancements, as seen with Microsoft and Block. Despite the layoffs, Metas financial performance remains strong, with a 24% revenue increase in Q4 2025, driven by AI-enhanced ads. The company is investing heavily in AI infrastructure, allocating $135 billion in capex this year. While investors express concerns, Meta remains optimistic about AIs long-term benefits.
