Meta considered replacing the majority of its workforce with AI under 'Project OT'
In January, Mark Zuckerberg and senior Meta leadership held discussions regarding 'Project OT', a proposal to swap out most of the company's personnel with artificial intelligence. The strategy involved assigning the work of thousands of staff members to AI, with only minimal human teams left to supervise the systems. Meta had intended to reduce various departments by 60% across two stages starting in May, but Zuckerberg ultimately abandoned the plan just hours before the scheduled job cuts.
