Meta is facing skepticism over its costly efforts to recruit top talent for its artificial intelligence program. The company has reportedly spent millions of dollars in an attempt to attract the best minds in the field, leading some to question the financial viability of such a venture.
The recent UBS hack serves as a reminder of the risks associated with data breaches and cyberattacks, which could potentially impact Meta’s own recruitment efforts. With over 130,000 employees’ data reportedly exposed in the hack, the security concerns surrounding AI recruitment are more pressing than ever.
As Meta continues to push its AI program forward, it remains to be seen whether the company can effectively balance innovation with financial prudence.
