Meta Platforms faces a lawsuit from 26 employees alleging the company used AI tools and automated metrics to select workers for layoffs, disproportionately affecting those on medical, parental, or family leave. The lawsuit claims Meta's AI-driven performance rankings and activity tracking failed to account for productivity gaps during approved leave, leading to unfair terminations. The plaintiffs seek to pause layoffs scheduled for July 22, demand an independent audit of the AI tools, and seek damages. Meta denies the allegations, stating decisions are made by people, not AI.
