Meta Announces 60% Team Reduction Plan to Become AI Native

Earlier this year Meta unveiled a plan—codenamed Project OT—to transform its organization into an AI‑native company. The plan envisions cutting some teams by up to 60 percent and includes two rounds of layoffs, according to Reuters reports citing two internal sources. Meta has not disclosed which teams would be affected. The initiative reflects the broader challenge of determining when AI can replace human roles and the operational risks of large‑scale workforce reductions. The company’s move underscores the growing trend of tech firms prioritizing AI integration over traditional staffing models.
