Meta accused of using biased AI targeting for mass layoffs
A group of 26 former Meta employees has filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming it used AI tools to unfairly target workers on leave during layoffs. The employees allege that Meta relied on performance data collected by a constellation of internal AI tools but failed to exclude those on parental or medical leave from its ranking system.
As a result, employees who took protected leaves were disproportionately selected for layoffs, based on scores that not only disregarded their protected status but effectively penalized them for exercising their rights.
