Summary
Meta is forcing over 7,000 employees to transfer to new teams focused on AI, including groups building AI cloud infrastructure and an internal AI agent called Hatch. This reorganization is mandatory, with the company previously telling workers that similar transfers to an AI data labeling team were non-optional, even after initially offering them as voluntary.
