Meta accused of using biased AI targeting for mass layoffs
AI Today Summary
A group of 26 former Meta employees has filed a lawsuit alleging that the company used AI tools to rank employee performance for layoffs without excluding those on protected medical or parental leave, resulting in disproportionate layoffs among those employees. The lawsuit claims this practice violated laws protecting workers on leave, while Meta denies the allegations, stating that human decisions guided workforce management, not AI alone.
