"On Thursday, Janelle Gale, Meta's head of people, told staff that "AI-driven impact" will become a "core expectation" starting in 2026, reported Business Insider, citing an internal memo. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company will assess how effectively workers leverage AI to boost productivity, build internal tools, and deliver measurable improvements. While individual AI usage won't factor into formal reviews in 2025, employees are being encouraged to call out AI-enabled wins in their self-evaluations."
"Meta's move mirrors a broader industry trend as major tech firms, including Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), pivot toward mandatory AI adoption. Microsoft executives have reportedly told managers that using AI is "no longer optional," while Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) CEO Sundar Pichai said employees must fully embrace AI for the company to stay competitive.
