Meta Tracks Employee Keystrokes for AI Training
As part of an ambitious effort to advance its generative AI capabilities and compete with industry leaders, Meta is implementing an internal tool called the Model Capability Initiative (MCI). This tool is designed to capture employee keystrokes and mouse clicks across various websites and applications, including Google, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, and internal Meta properties. The collected data will be used to train AI models, with Meta asserting that safeguards are in place to protect sensitive information and that the data will not be used for other purposes. Despite assurances, some employees have expressed concerns about privacy and potential data exposure.
