A group of current and former Meta employees filed a lawsuit claiming the company used artificial intelligence in its recent layoffs in a discriminatory way. The lawsuit alleges Meta's AI systems ignored approved absences like medical or family leave, leading to unfair cuts of employees, including those with disabilities and pregnancy-related protections. The plaintiffs seek to halt further layoffs pending an independent audit of Meta's AI-driven layoff process. Meta denies the claims, stating workforce decisions are made by people, not AI. This case follows a similar lawsuit against Workday over AI use in hiring, highlighting growing concerns about AI's impact on employment fairness.
