Meta is deploying tracking software on the computers of its U.S.-based employees. The software captures mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes within work-related applications and websites. Periodic screenshots provide additional context for the gathered data.
The initiative aims to train AI models to perform workplace tasks autonomously. Internal memos indicate the data will help AI master complex actions like keyboard shortcuts and dropdown navigation.
Meta states the data is used exclusively for AI training rather than performance evaluations. The company has implemented safeguards to protect sensitive information.
