Despite mainstream media claims that Meta and Mark Zuckerberg intend to pivot from the metaverse, it is clear that the immersive web remains a big part of the company’s future plans.

Perennial skeptics are nevertheless attempting to use Meta’s most recent round of job cuts to construct a false narrative around the metaverse. 

What Zuckerberg actually said

On Tuesday Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta would cull a further 10,000 jobs from its workforce following earlier layoffs of 11,000 in November. 

In a 2,000+ word letter, Zuckerberg covered far more ground than that, as the Meta CEO outlined some of the most important technology trends that will shape the company over the near to medium term. As Zuckerberg points out, one of the most important will be how the company applies AI to its apps and services.

“I believe that we are working on some of the most transformative technology our industry has ever seen,” said Zuckerberg.

“Our single largest investment is in advancing AI and building it into every one of our products. We have the infrastructure to do this at unprecedented scale and I think the experiences it enables will be amazing.”

Mainstream media has made much of the fact that the single biggest investment from Meta in the immediate future will be AI. The quote prompted CNN to ask “What metaverse?” and Business Insider to declare that Zuckerberg and Meta are moving “away from the metaverse.”

False reports suggest Meta is moving away from the metaverse

In reality, Zuckerberg’s letter immediately goes on to add:

“Our leading work building the metaverse and shaping the next generation of computing platforms also remains central to defining the future of social connection. And our apps are growing and continuing to connect almost half of the world’s population in new ways.”

During the course of this most recent address to staff, Zuckerberg mentions the metaverse two times and AI three times. Fairly poor evidence that the company is turning its back on the virtual realm.

The future of Meta

Zuckerberg is clear about where he sees the future of Meta, stating that the company is focused on building “inspiring products that improve people’s lives.”

The Zuck adds: “We do this with AI to help you creatively express yourself and discover new content, with the metaverse to deliver a realistic sense of presence, with new media formats to create richer experiences, with encryption to let you communicate privately in more and more ways, and with business tools to help reach customers, create opportunity and grow the economy.”

Clearly, AI is set to play a significant role in the future of the company, but it is only one of many strands that Zuckerberg and Meta intend to pursue. Where AI is applied, it won’t necessarily be perceived by the general public.

The latest hype cycle surrounding AI is highly focused on chatbots, but Meta has other applications in mind. The company will explore how improved AI technology can be used to increase the productivity of its engineers – something that will be important in the company’s “year of efficiency.”

Meta believes that certain workloads and processes will be automated over time, and that AI will help to identify obsolete processes. With Meta shedding 21,000 staff in the course of a year, the AI should certainly have its hands full.
