Meta has revised its employee evaluation criteria, removing the focus on AI tool usage that previously influenced performance reviews. This change coincides with the testing of Hatch, a new AI agent that can autonomously perform tasks, which some employees are hesitant to fully integrate due to privacy concerns. The adjustment aims to prioritize employee impact over AI engagement, potentially improving morale. Despite the policy shift, concerns about AI-driven job cuts and privacy remain among the workforce.

Judge allows NAACP lawsuit over xAI pollution to proceed
xAI's attempt to dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act lawsuit failed after a federal judge ruled that its gas turbines are not exempt mobile sources and that plaintiffs have standing. This legal setback confirms that AI infrastructure operators cannot bypass environmental permitting by classifying heavy industrial equipment as temporary or mobile. The ruling forces xAI to face scrutiny over air quality impacts at its Colossus data center, setting a precedent for how large-scale compute facilities are regulated under existing environmental laws.
