Together, the planned changes could affect up to 16,000 workers, according to\u00a0reports\u00a0based on company documents and internal messages.<\/p>\n<p>The changes come at a time when both companies are investing large amounts of money in building advanced computer systems that can power new artificial intelligence tools. These systems require very expensive computer centers, powerful hardware, and large teams of skilled workers. While these investments are expected to help the companies grow in the future, they are also increasing short-term costs and forcing leaders to reduce spending in other areas, including staff numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Meta, the company that owns Facebook, is planning one of the largest changes. It is expected to cut about 10 percent of its workforce, which is around 8,000 jobs. In addition, it will close around 6,000 open positions that have not yet been filled. This means the total reduction in workers and planned hiring will be even larger than the number of direct job cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Reports say the job cuts were shared in an internal message sent to staff and later made public. The company plans to begin the process on May 20. Many of the affected roles are expected to be in areas that are not directly linked to artificial intelligence development or core technical work.<\/p>\n<p>Meta has been spending heavily on building new computer centers and systems needed for artificial intelligence. These centers require large amounts of electricity, advanced chips, and constant maintenance. The company is also competing with other major technology firms to develop more advanced systems that can perform tasks such as writing text, generating&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weeklyblitz.net\/2026\/04\/26\/us-tech-giants-companies-plan-large-job-cuts-as-artificial-intelligence-costs-rise\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US tech giants companies plan large job cuts as artificial intelligence costs rise https:\/\/weeklyblitz.net\/2026\/04\/26\/us-tech-giants-companies-plan-large-job-cuts-as-artificial-intelligence-costs-rise\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/weeklyblitz.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/US-tech-giants-companies-plan-large-job-cuts-as-artificial-intelligence-costs-rise-600x337.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-235623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235623"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235623"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235625,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235623\/revisions\/235625"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
