Report: Meta will train AI agents by tracking employees’ mouse, keyboard use
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Meta will begin tracking US employees' mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and periodic screenshots to generate high-quality training data for future AI agents. Meta says the data will help agents perform everyday computer tasks and will not be used to evaluate employees, but privacy, consent, and EU regulatory concerns loom as data collection expands. The move highlights ongoing tensions between AI training data needs and worker privacy rights.
