A 24-year-old Meta data scientist laid off after less than a year with the company said the experience has shifted her perspective on careers in the tech sector. “Artificial intelligence is already changing jobs and causing professionals to rethink their future,” says Moyan Chen, who lives in New York City.
A Business Insider report said Chen lost her place at Meta in May after months of uncertainty surrounding potential layoffs. While the layoff was a shock, the waiting period before the decision was announced was even harder, she said. Chen said looking back on the experience, she thinks AI helped change the course of her career. Ultimately, it feels like I lost my job to AI.”
