- Meta’s CTO takes over from its CISO to drive widespread AI adoption
- Mark Zuckerberg is already working on his own agent AI assistant
- AI-first teams will help improve business agility
Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth has been tasked with leading AI deployment across the company’s workforce and pushing the ‘AI For Work’ initiative to drive efficiency.
Sore The Wall Street Journal reports, Bosworth will replace Guy Rosen, the company’s CISO, to oversee internal AI tool adoption in an effort to make the Facebook maker more like startups in terms of agility.
It appears the company has already seen relatively strong early momentum in AI pilots and employee adoption, but Meta now faces pushing a broader rollout across its roughly 78,000 employees.

“The early pilots, the willingness to test new ideas, and the speed with which we’ve enabled teams to embrace AI tools have created real momentum and set us up for this next phase,” Bosworth wrote in a memo to employees.
In addition to speeding up day-to-day work, Meta also wants to smooth out its organizational structure to remove unnecessary barriers as well as generally transform job descriptions in light of technological changes.
To this tune, AI will likely be linked to performance reviews, and Meta’s long-term goal is for every employee to have their own AI ‘colleague’. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has already reportedly begun developing his own agent AI assistant.
Bosworth will also lead a new AI-focused division to support LLM development teams, which he hopes will be “AI native from day one.”
More broadly, Meta has already had its “Year of Efficiency” (2023), but most recently Zuckerberg said that “2026 will be the year when AI begins to dramatically change the way we work.”
Recent reports have claimed that the company could be set to cut around 20% of its workforce, worth around 16,000 workers, but such a move has not been implemented so far.
