Meta is laying off 600 employees in its Meta Superintelligence Labs division, a spokesperson confirmed.
Meta’s chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, shared a memo, which was seen by Business Insider, on Wednesday, announcing that the company cut jobs within the unit.
“By reducing the size of our team, fewer conversations will be required to make a decision, and each person will be more load-bearing and have more scope and impact,” Wang wrote.
Wang also wrote that affected employees had been notified.
Meta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
