- Meta’s CTO replaces its CISO to drive widespread AI adoption
- Mark Zuckerberg is already working on his own artificial intelligence assistant
- AI-focused teams will help improve business agility
Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s CTO, is tasked with leading the implementation of AI across the company’s workforce, driving the “AI For Work” initiative to increase efficiency.
By Wall Street Journal Bosworth will replace Guy Rosen, the company’s CISO, in overseeing internal adoption of artificial intelligence tools in an effort to make the Facebook maker more similar to startups in terms of agility.
It appears the company has already seen relatively strong initial momentum in AI pilots and employee acceptance, but Meta is now faced with driving a broader rollout among its around 78,000 workers.

“The early pilots, the willingness to test new ideas under pressure and the speed at which we have enabled teams to adopt AI tools have created real momentum and prepare us for the next phase,” Bosworth wrote in a note to employees.
In addition to accelerating daily work, Meta also wants to flatten its organizational structure to eliminate unnecessary barriers and generally transform job descriptions in light of technological changes.
In this sense, AI will likely be linked to performance reviews, and Meta’s long-term goal is for each employee to have their own AI “buddy.” CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly already started developing his own AI assistant.
Bosworth will also lead a new AI-focused division to support LLM development teams, which he hopes will be “AI natives from day one.”
More broadly, Meta has already had its “Year of Efficiency” (2023), but lately, Zuckerberg said that “2026 will be the year AI begins to dramatically change the way we work.”
Recent reports have stated that the company could cut around 20% of its workforce, which is equivalent to about 16,000 workers, but so far no such measure has been taken.
