Here’s how Meta decides who to lay off—and it claims to not use AI

Meta is facing a lawsuit from twenty-six former employees who allege the company utilized AI to determine layoff selections. The plaintiffs claim that internal AI assistants and dashboards tracking AI token usage influenced these decisions, unfairly impacting individuals with disabilities or those on leave. While Meta denies using AI for these purposes, a judge has requested further clarification regarding the termination of four specific employees whose immigration statuses were potentially at risk during the process.
