Meta sued for using AI in layoffs, allegedly penalizing protected leave

Meta is facing a lawsuit from 26 former employees who allege the company used flawed AI-driven performance metrics to make layoff decisions. The plaintiffs claim these metrics failed to account for employees taking protected leaves for reasons such as illness, pregnancy, or disability, effectively penalizing them for exercising their legal rights. Meta denies these allegations, stating that human decisions, not AI, dictated workforce management and organizational choices. This case could set a significant precedent regarding the use of AI in employment decisions and worker protections. AI
