The meta-PDG, Mark Zuckerberg, told employees on Thursday in a meeting of all the hands of the company to “complete” for an “intense” year in advance and addressed several recent policy changes.

Zuckerberg opened his hands by highlighting a feeling of emergency for the year. He told staff that he expected to have a clearer meaning of the company’s trajectory by the end of 2025 and that AI would be in the lead. He also discussed recent policy changes linked to the verification of facts and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

“This is a marathon, not a sprint,” he said in a registration examined by Business Insider. “But honestly, this year looks a little more like a sprint for me.”

Meta refused to comment.

The meta bets on AI

In a large -scale opening monologue, Zuckerberg predicted that 2025 would be the year when a very intelligent and personalized “digital assistant has reached 1 billion users.

“I think anyone who arrives there will have a long -term and lasting advantage to build one of the most important products in history,” said Zuckerberg, according to the recording.

Zuckerberg also reiterated his conviction that it would be the year that Meta began to see the agents of AI take work, including writing software. When asked if this would lead to job cuts, Zuckerberg said that he was “difficult to know” and that even if it could lead to redundant roles, this could lead to hiring more ‘Engineers who can exploit artificial intelligence to be more productive.

“The nature of what engineering is in the future will be different from this today,” he said.

Meta has made recent policy changes

Zuckerberg has discussed several flash points in recent weeks from inside the company, including the announcement that it would move from third -party facts to a system of community notes like that used by Xon Musk.

He told the staff to wait and see how the new system would be implemented.

“I am actually quite optimistic that it will end up being a better system,” he said.

Zuckerberg also said it would be a year to “reset” Meta’s relationship with governments around the world.

“After the past few years, we now have the opportunity to have a productive partnership with the American government, and we are going to take this,” said Zuckerberg. “I think it’s the right thing to do because there are several areas, even if we do not agree on everything, where we have a common cause for things that will make sure that we can serve better Our community, and we can advance the interests of our country together, “he said, adding that Meta would do so in a way that has not compromised its” principles or values ​​”.

Meta Retalled Back Dei Programs

The Meta Chief also discussed recent business changes in its position on Dei policies and the decline in these programs in response to a legal and regulatory landscape changing within the framework of the Trump administration.

“The way of thinking about this is that we are in the midst of a fairly rapid development policy and regulatory landscape which consider any policy more and more that could benefit a group of people compared to another like some Something that is illegal, and because of this, we need to adapt, otherwise we will not be aligned with what the law says: “Zuckerberg said.

He once again said that meta considered diversity as a force, adding: “Historically, we had a handful of specific programs that were very focused on certain under-represented groups, and I think that the orientation of politics and From the regulatory and legal orientation on many of the substance, it is that you cannot do things that benefit specific groups, even if you try to compensate for other things.
