Microsoft, Meta, and xAI are leveraging employee data to train artificial intelligence models. This strategy aims to secure a competitive advantage through proprietary data.
Meta tracks employee keystrokes and mouse movements to train AI agents. This practice has triggered internal backlash and privacy concerns.
Microsoft’s GitHub used employee interaction data to refine its Copilot coding assistant. The company later expanded this data collection to its broader user base.
Elon Musk’s xAI reportedly used employee biometric data to train its Grok AI. The firm also offered payments for personal tax returns to enhance model development.
