Meta considered restructuring its workforce using AI agents that could replace employees and cut headcount by about 25 percent. The internal documents described an “AI native” company where AI tools and agents automate workflows, enable AI‑first product builds, and allow selling AI agents to third parties. A pilot launched earlier this year reorganized engineering, research and other teams into smaller groups, removed middle management and used agent‑assisted analysis to prioritize daily tasks. HR staff and AI systems were reported to help leaders decide on promotions, but Meta said promotion and rating decisions are made by people, not AI. After a May layoff wave, a planned November reduction was canceled, and the company said it could not determine the reason for the shift. Meta continues to develop AI tools while maintaining that human judgment drives employment decisions, leaving the future of its AI‑native strategy uncertain.
