Meta Sued Over Claims That AI Chose Who to Lay Off

  • Twenty-six current and former Meta employees have sued the company, alleging its AI systems helped decide who to cut in a May layoff and that the criteria penalized workers on medical or family leave.
  • Meta denies it, saying people, not AI, made the decisions.
  • The unproven case is an early test of how far companies can lean on algorithms in firing.
