In a significant move, Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is set to lay off approximately 600 employees as part of a broader reorganization focused on its artificial intelligence (AI) efforts, according to multiple reports.

This decision comes as the tech giant aims to streamline its workforce and prioritize AI development to compete more aggressively in the evolving technology landscape. The job cuts are reportedly concentrated within Meta’s AI teams, reflecting a shift in strategy to optimize resources for more targeted innovation.

Industry analysts note that the move aligns with trends across the tech sector, where companies are recalibrating their investments in AI while managing economic pressures and competitive challenges.

The job reduction is part of Meta’s ongoing efforts to adapt to rapid technological advancements while maintaining efficiency amid a challenging market environment.
