- The internal memo suggests that this process will allow all Meta employees to contribute to improving the quality of AI models simply by going about their daily tasks.
- This move raises concerns over privacy and potential misuse of personal data in training advanced AI systems. Employees may feel uneasy about having their work habits scrutinized for machine learning purposes, especially when such practices could be seen as a form of surveillance.
