Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Meta announced Wednesday that it is laying off 600 employees in its artificial intelligence division while still hiring for its artificial superintelligence division.
The company decided that its AI areas have become overly bureaucratic, and this will create a more streamlined department, according to an internal memo, reported by Axios.
"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," Meta chief AI officer Alexandr Wang wrote in the memo.
Employees in the United States will learn if they are still employed by 7 p.m. PDT, Wang said.
