Meta will cut 10% of workforce as it pushes more into AI

Meta said it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or about 8,000 employees, as it continues to invest heavily in artificial intelligence. The job cuts signal ongoing cost pressure and restructuring even as the company prioritizes AI spending. The news is negative for sentiment, but the broader market impact should be limited to Meta and large-cap tech names.
