Why It Matters
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg informed employees that the company made mistakes during its AI transformation and that significant layoffs are not anticipated by the end of the year. The company is investing billions in AI to reshape its operations, mirroring a trend among major US companies, especially in the tech sector.
路透社報導，社群媒體巨頭臉書（Facebook）母公司Meta執行長祖克柏告訴員工，Meta對員工推動人工智慧（AI）轉型過程中犯下一些錯誤，預估年底前不會再度大幅裁員。
祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）正斥資數千億美元發展AI技術，試圖重塑公司內部營運方式，這同時反映今年來美國主要公司的趨勢，尤其是科技業。
根據路透社取得的內部備忘錄，祖克柏提到AI技術突飛猛進和這股熱潮帶來的挑戰。
他說：「基於這些變化的複雜程度，我們確實犯下一些錯誤，未來幾乎可以肯定還會犯更多錯」，並補充說未來涉及組織調整時，他也會「聚焦於儘可能維持（團隊）穩定」。
祖克柏指出：「我不想開空頭支票，因為世界的變化超出我們所能掌控」，他重申Meta預估年底前不會再次大幅裁員。
Meta上月大舉整頓組織，推動全球裁員、約占員工總數10%，同時調動7000名員工至AI工作流程相關的新計畫。祖克柏表示，Meta將設法為調至AI模型訓練相關工作的員工尋找新職位。
祖克柏強調：「為員工創設重要的新職位，也讓我們得以縮減各團隊規模，萬一在某些地方判斷錯誤，還能將部分人員調回原崗位。」
