Four Meta employees on company work visas are at the heart of a lawsuit that claims the tech giant used artificial intelligence to decide who lost their jobs. A federal judge has refused to halt their layoffs. But he ruled that their risk of being forced out of the United States is, in his words, more than speculation. He has ordered Meta to explain by 23 July why the four were picked.
The four are part of a group of 26 workers suing Meta over an April 2026 round of about 8,000 job cuts. Meta rejects the central claim outright. It says the decisions were made by people, not AI.
