这家科技公司为削减成本并加大人工智能领域投入，计划裁员约8000人，占其员工总数的10%。
在发给员工的内部备忘录中，Meta表示此次裁员旨在提升公司运营效率，并为其他领域的投资填补资金缺口。该公司证实，裁员工作将于5月20日启动。
近期已有更多美国雇主将裁员原因归咎于人工智能，包括Pinterest和化工企业陶氏等公司。与此同时，科技巨头正围绕人工智能能力建设展开军备竞赛，包括新建数百座数据中心或收购人工智能初创企业。
韦德布什证券分析师丹·艾夫斯在周四的一份报告中指出，Meta今年晚些时候可能会进一步裁员，该公司旨在削减成本并进一步推进人工智能业务发展。
他表示：“我们认为，这是Meta战略的一部分……利用人工智能工具自动化原本需要大型团队完成的任务，让公司在维持生产力的同时精简运营、降低成本，这也推动了对更精简运营架构的需求。”
在今年1月的一份监管申报文件中，Meta表示其人工智能计划包括为所有人提供“个人超级智能”。
该公司在文件中称：“我们还致力于开发下一代人工智能模型，并推进我们打造超级智能的愿景，我们将超级智能定义为超越人类智能的人工智能。尽管从本质上来说，很难预测超级智能何时能够实现，但我们目前正在投入资金，因为我们相信这有可能开启个人赋能的新时代，让人们能够将超级智能应用于自己生活中重视的事物上。”
Meta创始人兼首席执行官马克·扎克伯格去年在一篇博客文章中将超级智能描述为一种可用于提升繁荣程度的潜在强大工具。

Meta to cut 8,000 jobs as it charges into AI

Meta plans to lay off roughly 8,000 employees, or 10% of its workforce, in a move to slash costs as the technology company pushes deeper into artificial intelligence.
In an internal memo sent to workers, Meta said the job cuts are intended to make the company more efficient and to offset its other investments. The layoffs will start on May 20, the company confirmed.
More U.S. employers are pointing to AI for recent decisions to eliminate staff, including companies such as Pinterest and chemical maker Dow. Meanwhile, tech giants are engaged in an arms race to build out their AI capabilities, including building hundreds of data centers or buying AI startups.
More layoffs at Meta could be in the works later this year as the company seeks to reduce costs and further develop its AI capabilities, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said in a report on Thursday.
“We believe that this is part of Meta’s strategy to … leverage AI tools to automate tasks that once required large teams, allowing the company to streamline operations and reduce costs while maintaining productivity, driving an increased need for a leaner operating structure,” he said.
In a January regulatory filing, Meta said its AI plans include delivering “personal superintelligence for everyone.”
“We are also working to develop the next generation of AI models and advance our vision to build superintelligence, which we define as AI that surpasses human intelligence,” the company said in its filing. “Although it is inherently difficult to predict when superintelligence may be achieved, we are investing now because we believe this has the potential to begin a new era of individual empowerment, where people can direct superintelligence towards what they value in their own lives.”
Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg described superintelligence in a blog post last year as a potentially powerful tool for enhancing prosperity.
