Meta used AI to tag workers who took leave to be laid off, lawsuit claims

Dozens of Meta employees filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of California alleging Meta used internal AI tools to tag workers for layoff, including those who took maternity or disability leave. The complaint says an 'AI constellation' of systems, plus performance rankings and keystroke- and activity-monitoring data, were used to score and select employees for layoffs affecting about 8,000 workers earlier this year, with plaintiffs seeking injunctions and remedies such as reinstatement and back pay. Meta disputed the allegations, saying workforce decisions are made by people, not AI, and noting the company paused its employee-monitoring program after employee backlash.
