Further Aspirations of Meta
In the past year and a half, Meta has gradually shifted its emphasis away from only social media to the space of the metaverse. Despite this change, the company has received unfavorable quarterly outcomes. However, now, Meta seems to have redirected its focus to Artificial Intelligence for maintaining revenue and performance levels.
Meta is aiming for a “year of efficiency” in 2023, leading to a possible interpretation of potential job losses. In a difficult tech market, Meta is desperately hoping to return to a successful course of action.
