If Facebook will be “Metaverse Company,” it will need talent – and more talent is on the horizon. Social networks have launched a plan to add 10,000 “high skills” throughout the European Union for five years to build a virtual and augmented reality experience. Drive recruitment will employ workers in countries including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.
Facebook characterizes the steps as a “voice of trust” in the European technology sector. It has a large customer base, of course, but social media companies also point to bloody teams in various fields and education of the University of “Class One”. Facebook even touted the “leading” EU policy on issues such as freedom of speech, privacy, and transparency even though the company run-in with regulators.
Technology giants already have a reality lab office in Cork, Ireland, and has opened a AI research laboratory in France. In 2019, Facebook partnered with Munich Engineering University to make an AI ethical research center.
As with many job announcements, this is as many as public relations relationships because it is a practical investment. This can ‘remind’ the EU of Facebook’s economic contributions and influence relevant policies. Even so, step instructions on the long-term scale of the metaverse transition – Facebook changes its overall direction, not only expelling some resources.
