Meta“用AI替代人类”计划遇挫:扎克伯格承认AI发展未达预期
据路透社报道,在近日举行的内部员工大会上,Meta首席执行官马克·扎克伯格向员工坦言,公司人工智能代理项目的开发进度并未像高管此前预期的那样“加速推进”。这一表态标志着Meta在试图用AI替代人类员工的道路上遭遇了现实阻力。
今年早些时候,Meta已裁减约8000名员工(约占公司企业员工的10%),并将另外7000名员工重新调配至包括“代理转型”团队在内的多个AI项目组。然而在本周的会议上,扎克伯格承认这些裁员措施并未如预期般“干净利落”。他解释称,裁员决定源于公司高层“担心我们在适应科技行业快速变革方面行动不够迅速”。
扎克伯格同时指出,以AI为核心的新公司架构尚未“带来预期的收益”,但他预计未来三到六个月,公司将从AI投资中看到初步改善。值得注意的是,多名被调至该AI部门的工程师向调查媒体反映,这个运行数月的AI团队如今已变成一个“扼杀灵魂的劳改营”。
尽管进展不及预期,Meta在AI领域的投入仍在加码。路透社报道称,该公司今年计划在AI基础设施上投入高达1450亿美元。截至发稿,TechCrunch已就此事向Meta寻求置评,但尚未获得回复。

以Meta为例,用AI取代人类员工似乎并不那么容易。路透社报道称,在周四的一场内部全体会议上,CEO马克·扎克伯格告诉员工,AI代理的开发速度并未像高管们此前预期的那样“加快”。
今年早些时候,据彭博社报道,Meta裁掉了约8000名员工——约占其企业员工总数的10%——并将另外7000人重新分配到各个AI团队,其中包括一个名为“代理转型”(Agent Transformation)的部门。
在本周的会议上,扎克伯格显然对此次裁员发表了看法——他指出,裁员过程并未达到应有的“干净利落”。报道称,扎克伯格还表示,裁员是因为公司高层“担心我们无法足够快速地适应”科技行业不断变化的格局。
这位企业领导人还似乎提到,以AI为核心的新公司架构所带来的预期收益“尚未实现”,不过他同时表示,相信公司在未来三到六个月内将开始看到AI投资带来的改善。其他一些调查报道显示,根据被分配到Meta已有数月之久的AI部门的工程师们的说法,该部门就像一个令人精神崩溃的“古拉格”。
路透社报道称,Meta已在AI领域投入巨资,预计今年将在AI基础设施上花费高达1450亿美元。

Replacing people with AI doesn’t seem to be that easy to do, if Meta can be seen as an example.
Reuters reports that at an internal town hall Thursday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg told staff that the pace of AI agent development had not “accelerated in the way” executives had previously expected them to.
Earlier this year, Meta laid off some 8,000 employees — approximately 10% of its corporate workforce — and reassigned another 7,000 to various AI groups, including one called Agent Transformation, Bloomberg reported.
During this week’s meeting, Zuckerberg apparently commented on these job cuts — noting that they were not as “clean” as they should have been. The cuts were made because top officials at the company “were worried that we weren’t going to move fast enough to adapt” to the changing landscape of the tech industry, Zuckerberg reportedly added.
The corporate leader also apparently said that the perceived upside of the new AI-focused company structure hadn’t “come to fruition yet,” although he said that he believed the company would begin to see improvements from its AI investments during the next three to six months. Several other investigative reports have depicted Meta’s months-old AI unit as a soul-crushing gulag, according to some of the engineers assigned to it.
Meta has invested heavily in AI and is expected to spend as much as $145 billion on AI infrastructure this year, Reuters reports.
