The company led by Zuckerberg, which introduced the metaverse world at Facebook Connect 2021, also changed its name from Facebook to Meta. Meta has been facing challenges for various reasons, especially over the past two years. The company continues to experience losses in the field of artificial intelligence, a popular technology in recent times.
Meta has lost one-third of its artificial intelligence researchers
The global economic uncertainty that has prevailed in recent years has negatively affected many companies. Major companies resorted to cost-cutting measures in their economic plans and downsized. Meta, being one of them, has significantly downsized in recent times.
Last year in November, OpenAI released ChatGPT, taking artificial intelligence technology to another level. Although Zuckerberg’s company, which took the first steps in this field, does not want to fall behind its competitors, it cannot achieve a breakthrough. In fact, the news coming from within the company is quite worrying for Meta.
The parent company Meta joined the artificial intelligence frenzy by announcing the MusicGen tool, which can convert text into music.
Mark Zuckerberg made significant investments for the advancement of artificial intelligence. However, layoffs and Zuckerberg’s internal attitude hindered progress. According to the Wall Street Journal, Meta has lost one-third of its artificial intelligence researchers since the release of ChatGPT in November. Moreover, the allegations made by former employees are even more alarming.
According to former employees, Zuckerberg’s wrong moves are eroding trust in the company. Most of those who have left in recent months have done so due to the atmosphere of insecurity within the company. As a result, the external perception becomes negative as well. Last month, the White House invited important companies in this field to a summit on artificial intelligence that it would hold with technology leaders. Meta was not included in the invitation.
