Twenty-six current and former Meta employees sued the company in the Northern District of California, alleging that an internal AI system scoring workers on productivity, performance, and “AI-native” usage metrics was used to select roughly 10% of the workforce for layoffs. The plaintiffs claim the scoring system penalized employees on protected medical, family, or disability leave because their reduced activity lowered their AI-derived scores. The suit alleges violations of the ADA, FMLA, and California’s FEHA and seeks an injunction halting further AI-informed layoffs; Meta denies that AI determined the selections.
