A group of former Meta employees is suing the company for allegedly using AI systems that unfairly targeted them for layoffs. The lawsuit alleges that Meta used improperly tested AI-powered assessment tools — including productivity scores, AI token usage tracking, and an internal LLM known as Metamate — that ranked employees for termination ahead of mass layoffs. The metrics used for the ranking unfairly scored employees that missed work or had reduced output expectations because of known medical conditions, maternal leave, and other disability-related terms, the lawsuit alleges.
"This is patently untrue. Full stop," wrote Meta spokesperson Andy Stone in a X post responding to the lawsuit's claims. "Workforce management and organizational decisions were and are made by people, not AI."
