Meta has gone through three AI changes in the last year, and now The Information reports that a fourth is on its way. The latest restructuring is set to happen amid a major companywide reshuffling as Meta prepares to lay off 11,000 employees.

The impending cuts have already impacted Meta's AI team, with executives laying off 11% of its AI researchers last week. With this and previous cuts, the company has now let go of more than one-fifth of its AI researchers since last October.

The changes are part of a company effort to become more efficient, according to Meta. These changes included the creation of a new AI infrastructure department, which will be led by former Google Brain CEO, artificial intelligence researcher, and professor artificial intelligence at Stanford University, Andrew Ng.

The department aims to make Meta's AI systems more efficient by streamlining its infrastructure and resources, including the tools used to build AI models. The company has been criticized for its handling of AI ethics, including a lack of transparency, and these changes are supposed to help address these concerns.

Whether this fourth restructuring will be the one that finally helps Meta unlock the next level of AI integration, or whether it will lose even more talent remains to be seen.
