Lawsuit claims Meta used AI to unfairly target employees for layoffs
The 26 employees who sued Meta Platforms form part of the 8,000 employees laid off amid AI restructuring at the company.
Meta's latest layoff round has triggered a fresh legal fight, with 26 employees alleging the company relied on AI and automated performance systems that unfairly disadvantaged workers on medical, parental and family leave.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in the northern district of California, points to Meta’s workforce reduction of about 8,000 employees earlier this year.
