Meta capturing employee mouse movements, keystrokes for AI training data
Summary
Meta is deploying tracking software on US-based employees' computers to capture mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes to train its AI models, as part of a broader push to build autonomous work agents. The tool may also snapshot screen content for context, and Meta says data won't be used for performance reviews and safeguards are in place. This raises privacy and security concerns for organizations, including SMBs, about consent, data scope, and governance of training data collected in the workplace.
