Report: Meta will train AI agents by tracking employees’ mouse, keyboard use
  • Meta is reportedly planning to use employee tracking software to generate training data for its AI agents, specifically by monitoring mouse movements and keyboard clicks of US employees.
  • The initiative aims to improve the performance of future AI models through better quality training data collected from daily work activities on specific apps and websites.
  • Meta’s internal memos suggest that this software will also incorporate periodic screenshots for context, allowing AI agents to understand broader workplace dynamics more accurately.

This approach raises concerns about privacy and the potential misuse of employee data in AI training.
