Meta 行政總裁 Mark Zuckerberg 上週在內部大會上承認，人工智能代理（AI agent）的開發速度明顯落後預期，過去 4 個月發展並未出現預期中的加速。他同時承認，早前大規模架構重組的時機計算有誤，裁員與調整過程亦「並不乾淨」，是他少有對內部策略作直接檢討的時刻，變相承認 Meta 在 AI 布局上，短期仍未找到穩定節奏。 公司原本希望透過重組，將更多資源集中到 AI 代理及超級智能相關項目，但目前組織重塑尚未轉化為可見成果。Zuckerberg 雖然沒有詳細交代落後原因，但仍強調 Meta 正朝「通往超級智能之路」前進，預期未來 3 至 6 個月可望見改善。這種一邊承認問題、一邊維持長線信心的說法，反映管理層正試圖在市場預期與內部士氣之間尋找平衡。 裁員重組未消化 士氣壓力上升 Meta 今年 4 月起啟動約 8,000 人裁員計劃，並將另外約 7,000 名員工調配至不同 AI 部門，包括專責代理技術的團隊。重組原意是加快 AI 產品化步伐，但 Zuckerberg 在內部會議承認計劃至今未見成果，反映組織調整與實際執行之間仍有明顯落差。對員工而言，裁員陰霾未散，工作方向又突然轉向 AI 優先，士氣自然受挫。 從外部觀察，Meta 這次調整不只是縮減成本，而是高風險的資源再分配。公司在壓縮部分傳統團隊的同時，將更多人力和算力押注在 AI 代理上，意味着若技術進展短期內未能兌現，內部壓力只會繼續累積。這亦解釋了為何 Zuckerberg 在會議中雖然仍保持樂觀，但語氣明顯比以往保守。 巨額資本開支 回報仍待驗證 儘管進度未達標，Meta 今年仍計劃將最多 1,450 億美元（約港幣 1.13 萬億元）投入 AI…

It was a line in a recent news report that jumped out at me. In Australia, “the levels of trust in either the US or China to ‘act responsibly’ in the world are now almost evenly matched”. The figures came from an annual poll conducted by the Lowy Institute in Sydney. This year’s survey also…
