Meta has outlined a major restructuring plan involving global workforce reductions and organizational changes as the company accelerates its push into artificial intelligence technologies.

According to an internal memo shared with employees, the company plans to cut 10% of its workforce this week, while additional reductions are expected later in the year. The changes are part of a broader strategy aimed at integrating AI more deeply into Meta’s products and internal operations.
Chief People Officer Janelle Gale informed staff that around 7,000 employees would be shifted to AI-related initiatives and managerial positions would be reduced as part of the restructuring process.
The memo stated that several teams are adopting AI-focused structures designed around smaller and flatter working groups intended to improve speed, efficiency and ownership.
Meta’s restructuring forms part of a wider transformation strategy centered on AI systems and autonomous digital agents capable of handling tasks traditionally performed by employees.
The company had approximately 77,986 employees by the end of March, according to corporate filings. Reports indicate that the restructuring, including layoffs and internal transfers, could affect nearly 20% of the workforce.
Employees are reportedly being reassigned to new projects, including Applied AI Engineering and Agent Transformation Accelerator teams, both focused on developing AI-powered systems and workplace automation tools.
The changes have also sparked internal criticism among some staff members. Reports suggest employees have expressed concerns over workforce reductions and the use of monitoring technology intended to train AI systems to replicate human-computer interactions.
The latest move reflects a broader trend across the technology sector, where major companies are increasingly reshaping their workforce structures around AI-driven strategies.
