Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta founder who spent billions on a failed metaverse, is now turning to artificial intelligence to eliminate the one task he still dislikes most: interacting with other people. According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal, Meta is developing an AI “co‑CEO” that will handle information‑retrieval and other routine duties that would otherwise require the CEO to speak with his staff. The internal agent is being built as part of Zuckerberg’s broader vision of making AI the primary medium through which Meta operates, effectively giving the billionaire a digital surrogate for everyday decision‑making.

During Meta’s January earnings call, Zuckerberg said the company is “investing in AI‑native tooling so individuals at Meta can get more done, elevating individual contributors and flattening teams.” To support this, Meta has created a new AI engineering division where up to 50 employees report to a single manager, under the assumption that a swarm of AI agents will keep the organization from devolving into chaos. Employees are already using a suite of internal tools such as “My Claw,” which can communicate with coworkers and reference employee files, and “Second Brain,” an AI‑powered chief‑of‑staff that parses project documentation and keeps track of work‑streams.

The AI‑first strategy extends to Meta’s acquisitions, most recently the purchase of Moltbook—an almost entirely AI‑populated social‑media platform whose founders were brought on board. Within Meta’s internal messaging system, AI agents now have a dedicated group where they can interact with one another, effectively creating an AI‑only social network. As the company leans further into automation, reports indicate that Meta may cut up to 20 % of its human workforce, replacing those roles with the very agents it is designing to reduce the need for human-to‑human communication.

yahoo news | What Mark Zuckerberg’s AI sidekick could teach CEOs about leading by example | F...

Mark Zuckerberg has always positioned himself as a hands‑on champion of Meta’s biggest bets, from the early‑stage metaverse experiments—where he appeared in awkward VR avatars and hosted meetings inside virtual offices—to the company’s current AI push. According to the Wall Street Journal, Zuckerberg is now working with a still‑in‑development AI agent that delivers information faster and streamlines tasks that would normally require multiple queries, signaling that the CEO is “walking the walk” on Meta’s AI imperative.

Meta is pouring tens of billions into “superintelligent” models and the data centers that run them, and it is actively encouraging staff‑wide AI adoption. Employees are rewarded for token consumption, AI‑driven impact is baked into performance reviews, and internal leaderboards rank workers by their AI usage. Research shows a credibility gap: almost 70 % of CEOs and senior executives use AI less than an hour a week, with 28 % not using it at all, which can blind leaders to the real workload pressures and cognitive overload their teams experience.

Studies from Gallup and Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom reveal that strong managerial support for AI dramatically increases employee adoption and perceived usefulness. Meta’s experiment‑heavy culture—featuring hackathons and personal AI agents—appears to be paying off, fostering an environment where AI is woven into daily workflows. Whether every CEO needs a “Zuckerberg‑style” AI sidekick remains uncertain, but leaders who expect organization‑wide AI adoption must become active users themselves to maintain credibility and drive genuine uptake.

yahoo news | Meta’s Zuckerberg Creating a CEO Agent to Help With His Job | PYMNTS.com by undefined

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive officer, is developing a “CEO agent” – an artificial‑intelligence assistant that can retrieve information and answer questions for him without the usual chain of intermediaries. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the agent speeds up his decision‑making by pulling data and insights directly, reflecting Meta’s belief that AI adoption is essential to the company’s future success. Zuckerberg highlighted this push on an earnings call in January, stating that AI‑native tools will help individuals at Meta “get more done” and “flatten teams,” making work more efficient and enjoyable.

The WSJ notes that Meta’s internal culture is rapidly embracing AI, with employees increasingly using AI tools and even being evaluated on their adoption of such technology. Internal message boards are buzzing with tips and custom tools built by staff, and the company recently announced plans to shift content‑enforcement responsibilities from third‑party vendors to its own advanced AI systems. In a blog post, Meta explained that while humans will still handle appeals and law‑enforcement reporting, AI will take over repetitive tasks such as reviewing graphic content and detecting evolving scams or illicit‑drug sales.

Meta’s AI systems have already shown measurable impact: over the past year they uncovered roughly 5,000 scam attempts per day that had evaded human reviewers, caught more accounts impersonating celebrities, and cut views of ads linked to scams and violations by about 7 %. The company says these tools will be expanded across its apps once they consistently outperform current enforcement methods, signaling a broader transformation of Meta’s approach to moderation and operational efficiency.

Okay so I accidentality just stumbled onto the knowledge that Instagram pushes far right wing content onto new accounts.

I created a completely fresh new Instagram account with a new email, no number attached, etc. It had nothing at all to work with and after signing up to presented this screen with suggested accounts to follow with, 5 of them auto selected and only requiring me to hit "Follow" to confirm.

At the last minute, Meta decides not to kill Horizon Worlds VR after all https://arstechni.ca/LKZC #HorizonWorlds #Tech #meta #VR

RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/116257260071112037

This was not a "rogue AI" that misbehaved. It was a human acting on inaccurate GenAI information and lack of technical controls and policies by Meta. It should be clear by now that GenAI output is not to be trusted, yet this human followed the GenAI output without properly understanding or validating the provided information. Additionally, Meta's development controls and security tools failed to stop the harmful changes from being made by the human.

Just FYI for the privacy ppl still on Instagram...

In May, Instagram is disabling end to end encryption for private messages bc (they claim) "low uptake" but rly, bc they want to enable spying on u.

More corpo deception, u know?

So, ur choices...

- Use Insta and swap to something for messaging (Signal is a great choice!)

- Move away from Insta to the Fedi (if you can; some ppl rely on it for income, I know.)

- Let Mark "I creep women and steal their selfies" Zuckerberg spy on u.

➡️ Netherlands: Bits of Freedom won their challenge against #Meta - who must now offer a chronological, non-algorithmic feed to Dutch users
➡️ Germany: X ordered by Court to provide data access for researchers
➡️ France: investigations into fake media outlets and accounts opened that threatened to manipulate municipal elections
