Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says artificial intelligence is creating jobs—not wiping them out. But the roles he is talking about aren't inside Meta's offices.
The tech giant laid off around 8,000 employees, reassigned another 7,000 workers to AI projects, and is preparing to spend $130 billion to $145 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026. While thousands of corporate jobs disappeared, Zuckerberg argues AI is generating employment through the massive infrastructure needed to power the technology.
