Meta 的 AI 裁員引發訴訟,被指控針對病假員工存在偏見
26 名前員工起訴 Meta,聲稱 AI 裁員工具懲罰了休病假員工。該訴訟測試了 AI 驅動的人力資源決策是否符合勞動保護法。
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.
