AI or Humans Behind Meta Layoffs | Oakland News

from Oakland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing the company, alleging AI tools like “Metamate” unfairly targeted workers on medical leave or with disabilities by using metrics like productivity and AI tool usage — metrics that inherently disadvantage those not consistently at their desks, violating disability and leave protections. Meta denies using AI for layoffs, claiming human managers made all decisions. The plaintiffs seek a court injunction to halt further layoffs while the case unfolds, spotlighting rising concerns about AI’s role in high-stakes workplace decisions.
