Meta deploys employee surveillance software across US operations. The tech giant is installing monitoring tools on worker computers to track mouse movements, keystrokes, and clicks, feeding this data into artificial intelligence model training. The initiative, called Model Capability Initiative, aims to develop AI agents capable of performing tasks autonomously. The software captures screenshots and monitors activity on workplace applications and websites. Meta states employees contribute to AI development simply by performing their daily work. Legal experts express significant concerns about this surveillance approach. A Yale law professor argues keystroke tracking represents a major escalation in data collection, subjecting office workers to real-time monitoring previously experienced mainly by delivery workers.
