Meta layoffs: 26 ex-employees sue, allege medical info was used to target them

Former Meta employees filed a federal lawsuit alleging AI-driven discrimination during recent mass layoffs. The suit claims the company’s internal system unfairly targeted vulnerable workers for termination. These workers argue automated performance metrics disadvantaged those with medical conditions. Meta denies these claims, stating human decisions, not AI, guided the workforce changes. CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted executives miscalculated the restructuring’s timing and impact.
