Zuckerberg's bold plan to replace Meta employees with AI has imploded

Meta's ambitious plan to replace large portions of its workforce with AI agents largely fell apart after technical problems and employee backlash derailed the effort. Internal data showed AI-generated code surged 220%, but new features shipped to users rose only 36%, while major security incidents climbed 40%. Employee sentiment dropped sharply, and Zuckerberg ultimately paused the restructuring, though Meta still cut 10% of its workforce in May.
