Plaintiffs, including scientists and managers, claim AI tools evaluated performance and AI usage, ignoring leave status, and even used keystroke data to flag workers as underperforming. One scientist was laid off the day before her water broke; another just 16 days into medical leave. Meta denies the claims, insisting human managers made all decisions, but the suit seeks reinstatement, back pay, and damages, raising urgent questions about AI’s role in workforce management and potential violations of employment law.
