Am I going to be fired by AI? How corporate America is being seduced by AI and algorithms in the ‘forever layoffs’ era

The article reports that “workforce management” and “work intelligence tools” are proving irresistible in corporate America and that nearly 500 workers reveal how worried they are about AI-powered layoffs. It also says these tools are ensnaring women, people of color, and those on protected leave. For US workers and their families, the practical issue described is job security and how layoff-related decisions may be made, not a confirmed outcome for any particular worker. The article cites a former Meta employee who had five years of high performance ratings and a rare equity award in recognition of her performance.
