Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tells employees to 'buckle up' for an 'intense year' in a leaked all-hands recording

  • Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told staffers in a Thursday all-hands to be ready for an "intense year."
  • Meta said earlier this month it would cut 5% of its "low-performers" from its workforce in February.
  • It also announced changes to its content moderation policies and is rolling back its DEI programs.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees to "buckle up" for an "intense" year ahead and addressed several recent policy changes in a company all-hands meeting on Thursday.

Zuckerberg opened the all-hands meeting by emphasizing a sense of urgency for the year ahead. He told staff he expects to have a clearer sense of the company's trajectory by the end of 2025 and that AI will be top of mind this year. He also addressed recent policy changes related to fact-checking and programs for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

"This is a marathon, not a sprint," he said in a recording reviewed by Business Insider. "But honestly, this year feels a little more like a sprint to me."

Meta declined to comment.

Meta is betting on AI

In a wide-ranging opening monologue, Zuckerberg predicted that 2025 would be the year a "highly intelligent and personalized" digital assistant would reach a billion users.

"I think whoever gets there first is going to have a long-term, durable advantage towards building one of the most important products in history," Zuckerberg said in a recording reviewed by BI.

Zuckerberg also reiterated his belief that this will be the year Meta starts seeing AI agents take on work, including writing software. Asked whether this would lead to job cuts, Zuckerberg said it was "hard to know" and that while it may lead to some roles becoming redundant, it could lead to hiring more engineers who can harness AI to be more productive.

"The nature of what engineering is in the future will be different than it is today," he said.

Meta made recent policy changes

Zuckerberg touched on several flashpoints from inside the company that have taken place in recent weeks, including the announcement that it will move away from third-party fact checks to a community note system like that used by Elon Musk's X.

Zuckerberg told staff to wait and see how the new system gets implemented.

"I'm actually quite optimistic that this is going to end up being a better system," he said.

Zuckerberg also said this would be a year for "resetting" Meta's relationship with governments worldwide.

"After the last several years, we now have an opportunity to have a productive partnership with the United States government, and we're going to take that," said Zuckerberg. "I think it's the right thing to do because there are several areas, even if we don't agree on everything, where we have common cause for things that are going to make it so that we can serve our community better, and we can advance the interests of our country together, " he said, adding that Meta would do so in ways that don't compromise its "principles or values."

Meta rolled back DEI programs

The Meta chief also addressed the company's recent changes in its stance on DEI policies and the rollback of those programs in response to shifting legal and regulatory landscapes under the Trump administration.

"The way to think about this is we're in the middle of a pretty rapidly changing policy and regulatory landscape that increasingly views any policy that might advantage any one group of people over another as something that is unlawful, and because of that, we need to adjust, or else we'll just be out of alignment with what the law is saying," Zuckerberg said.

He reaffirmed that his view on DEI is that Meta views diversity as a strength, adding, "Historically, we've had a handful of specific programs that were very focused on certain underrepresented groups, and I think the direction of the policy and regulatory and legal direction on a lot of the stuff is that you can't do things that advantage, specific groups even if you're trying to make up for other things."

Turkey arrests nearly 70 Afghan refugees in recent operation

Turkish police, after inspecting a freight vehicle in the city of Van, identified and arrested 69 undocumented Afghan refugees. According to the police report, five others were arrested on charges of human trafficking.

Turkish media reported on Friday, February 20, that the freight vehicle was detected while traveling from the organized industrial zone in Van to the western cities of the country. The authorities identified a group of Afghan refugees during the operation and transferred them to migrant detention centers, while five individuals were referred to judicial authorities for charges of human trafficking.

The operation to identify and detain undocumented migrants continues throughout Turkey. Just one week prior, police arrested 75 undocumented Afghan refugees in the cities of Erzurum and Sivas.

The increased deportation of Afghan refugees has raised significant concerns, especially in the context of the dire humanitarian crisis currently unfolding in Afghanistan. As refugees are being detained in countries like Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan, the lack of legal pathways for migration exacerbates the vulnerability of these individuals.

In Turkey, the authorities have been ramping up efforts to prevent illegal immigration, but these measures often leave Afghan refugees in precarious situations, stuck in detention centers with limited prospects for resettlement. This tightening of border control policies is seen as part of a broader strategy to manage migration, yet it highlights the challenges faced by refugees fleeing conflict and instability.

Similarly, in Iran and Pakistan, Afghan refugees are facing increasing deportation rates, contributing to a growing humanitarian crisis in the region. Many of these refugees are left without the necessary documentation to remain in these countries, pushing them into a cycle of displacement that is difficult to escape.

The rising deportations of Afghan refugees across Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan reflect the heightened geopolitical pressures and the growing humanitarian challenges faced by the Afghanistan population.

The post Turkey arrests nearly 70 Afghan refugees in recent operation appeared first on Khaama Press.
