Meta Sued Over AI-Driven Biased Layoff Targeting

Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing the company, alleging it used AI tools to unfairly target workers on leave during layoffs. The lawsuit claims Meta relied on performance data gathered by a constellation of internal AI systems to determine who would be dismissed. The core allegation is that Meta failed to exclude employees on parental or medical leave from its AI ranking system, resulting in discriminatory terminations. The case was previously reported by Reuters.
