Meta Sued for Allegedly Using Discriminatory AI in Layoff Decisions

Twenty-six anonymous Meta employees are suing the tech giant, claiming that it used inherently discriminatory AI-powered software systems in a massive round of layoffs.

Meta conducted a substantial round of layoffs in May that impacted 8,000 employees, representing 10% of its entire workforce. The layoffs were done in an effort to help offset the hundreds of billions of dollars the tech giant prepares to spend on artificial intelligence development.
