Meta Cuts 10% of Jobs as AI Drives Efficiency
Meta is laying off 10% of its workforce as artificial intelligence reshapes how work gets done. In coverage from The New York Times, company leadership acknowledged the trade-offs behind these decisions: “This is not an easy trade-off and it will mean letting go of people who have made meaningful contributions to Meta during their time here.” Workers who helped build today’s most valuable companies are becoming increasingly disconnected from the gains those systems now produce.
The cuts reflect a broader shift across the tech sector, where AI-driven efficiency is reducing the need for certain roles even as overall output grows. Universal Income offers a clear path forward, providing stability and ensuring the value created over time is shared with the people who helped generate it.
