Meta's Oversight Board, a company-funded body responsible for monitoring the social media giant's activities, is reportedly planning to reduce its workforce. This decision is part of broader layoffs within Meta, which have affected thousands of employees over the past year, including significant cuts to customer support and ad accounts teams. The downsizing efforts have led to an increased reliance on AI chatbots for handling many client inquiries. Additionally, Meta has been promoting AI-enabled ad tools, such as the Advantage Plus shopping campaigns, as efficient alternatives to traditional ad methods.
