Overview

• An internal message from Metaverse VP Vishal Shah urged employees to “Think 5X, not 5%,” directing AI use across every major codebase and workflow.
• Shah set an expectation that 80% of the Metaverse organization will integrate AI into daily routines by the end of the year.
• Planned initiatives include company-run trainings and two “Metaverse day of AI learning” events to make AI use habitual.
• A Meta spokesperson said helping employees with day-to-day work through AI is a company priority.
• The directive aligns with Mark Zuckerberg’s timeline for AI agents to write most code within 12–18 months and follows policy changes allowing AI use in coding interviews, as engineers publicly warn about technical debt from AI-written code.
