Meta plans to monitor employee mouse and keystrokes to train AI models using internal operations.

Meta has found a new source of training data for its AI models: its own employees. The company plans to use data collected from its employees' mouse movements and keystrokes to build more powerful and efficient artificial intelligence. A company spokesperson stated, "If we are to build intelligent agents that help people complete everyday tasks using computers, our models need real-world examples to understand how people actually use computers—such as mouse movements, button clicks, and interacting with dropdown menus. To this end, we will be releasing an internal tool to capture these inputs on specific applications to help train our models. We have implemented appropriate safeguards to protect sensitive content, and this data will not be used for any other purpose." (TechCrunch)
