Zuckerberg also admitted that Meta has not communicated the changes as clearly as it should have. In the memo, he said that the company does not expect additional company-wide layoffs this year and added that communication is one area Meta needs to improve. Some of the employee transfers have already taken place, while others were communicated on Wednesday.

Nevertheless, the restructuring is part of Meta's overall plan to make AI the main focus of both its products and internal operations. The company is investing heavily in AI agents and wants to use them not only in consumer-facing tools but also in how employees work inside the company. So while Zuckerberg is trying to reassure staff that broader layoffs are not expected this year, Meta is still clearly reshaping the business around AI efficiency.
