Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged that the company’s AI-driven restructuring did not progress as quickly as leadership expected, according to reports based on an internal town hall and related coverage.
Zuckerberg said the “trajectory of the agentic development over at least the last four months hasn’t really accelerated in the way that we expected,” and that the company’s restructuring bets “haven’t come to fruition yet,” according to the reports.
The remarks come after Meta laid off 8,000 employees and reassigned another 7,000 workers to AI-related roles, as the company moved to reshape its workforce around artificial intelligence. The reports say Zuckerberg described the timing of the overhaul as miscalculated.
The comments add to a broader debate over how quickly AI can deliver operational changes inside large technology companies. At the same time, Zuckerberg has recently said he does not believe AI will inevitably replace human workers.
Meta has made AI a central priority as it continues to invest heavily in the technology, but the latest remarks suggest the company’s execution has not matched its original expectations.
