‘It’s Undignified’: Hundreds of Workers Training Meta’s AI Could Be Laid Off

Hundreds of Covalen workers in Dublin who help train and moderate Meta’s AI are facing layoffs.

Meta is cutting its reliance on third-party vendors as it shifts more content enforcement to internal systems.

The latest round affects more than 700 staff and reflects a broader move toward AI-driven moderation and automation.

The layoffs highlight how Meta’s AI strategy is reshaping outsourced labor in Ireland and beyond.
