Employee Monitoring

Meta is collecting employee keystrokes and mouse clicks across various websites and applications to train its AI models. The “Model Capability Initiative” (MCI) tool, intended for internal use, aims to capture real-world user interactions to improve AI agents. Despite assurances of safeguards and data privacy, the project has faced significant internal criticism, with employees raising concerns about potential exposure of sensitive information and surveillance. Meta states the data is crucial for developing AI that can perform tasks like human assistants, emphasizing that personal work should be avoided on work computers.
