Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted during an internal town hall that the company’s AI restructuring is yielding slower results than expected.
Executives miscalculated the timing of these changes as AI agent development failed to accelerate over the last four months.
The company previously laid off approximately 8,000 employees to fund its shift toward artificial intelligence.
Meta reassigned thousands of additional workers to specialized AI teams during the corporate overhaul.
The company projects its AI infrastructure investments will reach $145 billion by 2026.
The slow progress and recent restructuring have reportedly damaged employee morale.
