Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their mouse movements and keystrokes
Summary
Meta is rolling out internal software that tracks mouse movements, keystrokes, and screen content on US-based employees' work computers to train AI models. The program, called Model Capability Initiative (MCI), targets a pre-approved set of work apps, with no opt-out on company laptops, prompting privacy concerns among staff. Meta frames the move as part of its broader AI push (Muse Spark, AI pods) to improve models by studying real-world computer usage.
