TSX gains after CPI shows US inflation rose 3%
Investing.com -- Meta is cutting approximately 600 positions from its Superintelligence Labs artificial intelligence unit, according to reports from Axios and Bloomberg News on Wednesday.
The job cuts will impact several thousand roles within the company’s Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) unit, product-related AI teams, and AI infrastructure divisions. The newly formed TBD Lab group will not be affected by these reductions.
According to an internal memo cited in the reports, Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer, stated that having fewer team members would streamline decision-making and increase the responsibility, scope, and impact of each role.
Despite these cuts, Meta plans to continue hiring for its artificial intelligence efforts. The company is encouraging affected employees to apply for other positions within Meta and expects most will find roles internally.
Meta has not provided an immediate response to requests for comment on the reported job cuts.
