A new lawsuit alleges Meta used AI algorithms, not human managers, to make layoff decisions. The plaintiffs claim the AI system terminated employees with disabilities and health conditions without proper human review. Meta denies these allegations, stating it did not use AI to fire these workers. If the case succeeds, it would challenge the legal boundaries of using AI in HR management. For HR and legal teams deploying AI in hiring, performance reviews, or layoffs, this case directly shows that AI decisions lacking human oversight can lead to discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuits. Companies should immediately review the transparency and human review processes of their HR AI systems to ensure human involvement in key employment decisions.
