MetaのAIによるレイオフ、病気休職への偏りを訴える訴訟に発展
元従業員26人がMetaを提訴し、AIによるレイオフツールが病気休職を不当に扱ったと主張。この訴訟は、AI主導の人事判断が労働保護法に準拠できるかを試すものとなる。
26 former meta employees are suing the company, alleging it used a 'constellation' of internal ai tools, including metamate and employee-trained agents, to rank workers for layoffs without exempting those on medical or parental leave. the lawsuit claims this algorithmic approach disproportionately targeted protected employees during may's cuts, which reduced meta's workforce by 10% or roughly 8,000 people. meta denies the claims, stating decisions were made by people, not ai. this case highlights the growing legal risks of deploying ai for critical hr decisions and could set a precedent for employment law in the ai era.
