Meta is reportedly weighing layoffs of up to 15,000 employees as the company accelerates its push into artificial intelligence, with sources familiar with the discussions indicating cuts could affect more than one in five workers at the social media giant. The company has not confirmed the plans, with a spokesperson describing the reports as 'speculative reporting about theoretical approaches.'
The potential scale of the restructuring has deepened what analysts and workers are calling an 'AI job massacre', a growing pattern of technology sector layoffs driven not by declining revenues but by deliberate replacement of human labour with automated systems.
