Meta to track employees' mouse movements, keystrokes to train AI models
Meta is installing new tracking software on US-based employees' computers to capture mouse movements and keystrokes to train its AI models. The initiative is part of Meta's push to build autonomous AI agents for workplace tasks.
Meta is tracking US-based employees' mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes to train its AI models. The company is using a tool called Model Capability Initiative (MCI) to capture data on work-related apps and websites. The data will be used to improve Meta's AI models in areas where they struggle to replicate human interactions with computers. Meta is planning to lay off 10% of its workforce globally and is integrating AI into its workflows to operate more efficiently. The company aims to build AI agents that can perform work tasks autonomously. Meta has assured that the data gathered will not be used for performance assessments and has safeguards in place to protect sensitive content.
