Meta's AI for Work Chief Walks

Nikhil Singh, Meta's head of AI for Work, is leaving. He's been with the company since 2016, and he's not the only one. The departure is part of Meta's broader shift to put AI front and center — from the product side to the business side.

Meta is reorganizing around AI. They're putting a new head of AI for Work in place, and they're consolidating AI teams across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp into one group. The idea is that AI will be baked into every product, not bolted on as a feature.

Singh's departure is a signal that Meta is trying to figure out how to make money from AI in the enterprise world. They've spent billions on the technology, and now they're trying to sell it to businesses that still don't quite know what they want with it.

Why this matters for us: Meta's AI push is reshaping the tools millions of working families use daily, and the decisions being made now — about who gets the software, who gets left out, and who gets priced out — are shaping the next decade of work.
