Meta Is Tracking Employees For AI Work, Mark Zuckerberg Hints At More Layoffs
Meta is using an internal tracking system to monitor employee activity on work devices to train its AI systems, and the company may conduct more layoffs despite having a strong business. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes that using employee data will give the company an edge in the AI race.
Meta has started using a new internal tracking system on work devices to capture how employees interact with computers. The system, called Model Capability Initiative (MCI), records actions like mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes. Meta says the purpose is to train its artificial intelligence (AI) systems, not to monitor productivity. CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes that employee data will be of higher quality than data from external contractors. Meta's Chief People Officer Janelle Gale said that layoffs are still possible, despite the company's strong business. Zuckerberg clarified that AI is not directly replacing jobs, but making smaller teams more efficient.
