Mark Zuckerberg confesses Meta’s mighty AI takeover is not going well

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged that his ambitious plan to replace 60 percent of the company's human workforce with artificial intelligence has not been successful. In a recent Reuters report, Zuckerberg sheepishly admitted that the strategy to cut nearly a third of Meta's workforce has been a major setback for the company.

After reducing the workforce by around 10 percent in May, Meta faced widespread criticism from former employees, who took to online platforms to express their discontent. The controversy deepened as lawsuits were filed against the company, claiming that the AI-driven firing process discriminated against workers with disabilities.

Additionally, concerns emerged regarding the installation of AI-training spyware on the remaining employees' computers, as well as the proliferation of malicious AI-generated code across Meta's platforms, which required human intervention to resolve. Despite Zuckerberg's team-building efforts and promises of improved human snacks, the so-called "Organizational Transformation" plan has failed to yield any increase in revenue or positive public relations.

Meta's spokesperson reiterated that the company still plans to phase out human labor, though the aborted 60 percent workforce reduction was never officially adopted.
