Meta says it will cut 8,000 jobs as AI spending grows
The company said it plans to reduce headcount by about 10% and keep investing heavily in AI infrastructure.
Meta plans to cut about 10% of its workforce (roughly 8,000 jobs) and pause thousands of open roles, according to a memo described by the BBC. The report frames the move as part of a broader pivot toward heavy AI investment and efficiency gains from AI tools inside the company.
The memo cited a planned $135 billion in spending this year, with Meta declining to add more detail beyond confirming the cuts.
