Meta announced it will lay off 10% of its employees, approximately 8,000 people, starting May 20. The company is also canceling plans to fill 6,000 open positions as it shifts focus toward artificial intelligence development amid competition from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. This follows previous layoffs in its Reality Labs unit and other departments to improve efficiency and prioritize AI. Meta's stock dropped about 2.4% following the news.
