Khaberni - Meta will link its employees' performance to "AI-driven impact" starting next year.
Janelle Gale, the Vice President of Human Resources at "Meta," stated in an internal memo seen by "Business Insider" on Thursday that the company will make "AI-driven impact" a fundamental part of its employee expectations starting in 2026.
Meta will evaluate employees based on how they use artificial intelligence to achieve results and build tools that make a significant difference in productivity, according to a report seen by "Arabiya Business" from "Business Insider".
According to the memo, individual AI usage metrics will not be included in the 2025 annual performance reviews, but employees should mention their AI-supported achievements in their self-assessments.
A spokesperson for "Meta" referred to an earlier statement to Business Insider about adopting AI, which said: "It is well-known that this matter is a priority, we are focusing on using AI to assist employees in their daily work."
This approach represents a broader shift within American companies towards a culture fundamentally based on artificial intelligence; as leading technology companies, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, are pushing their employees to use AI more extensively.
The instructions to the employees were clear and uniform: using AI "is no longer optional," as one executive at Microsoft explicitly told managers in June.
Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, had a similar message during an all-staff meeting in July, stating that they must use AI for Google to lead the artificial intelligence race.
Earlier this year, Meta conducted a comprehensive restructuring of its hiring process by allowing job applicants to use artificial intelligence in programming interviews. It launched an internal game called "Level Up" to promote the adoption of AI, and it is now ready to reward employees who use AI to achieve meaningful results.
Gale wrote in the memo: "As we move towards a future based on artificial intelligence, we want to appreciate those who help us achieve this faster. By 2025, we will reward those who have made an exceptional AI-based impact, whether in their work or by improving their teams' performance."
Meta is also restructuring how employees write performance reviews and feedback by introducing an "AI Performance Assistant" for use in this year's performance review cycle, starting December 8, according to the memo.
