Meta tracks worker keystrokes

In a controversial move to accelerate its AI development, Meta is capturing the granular work activity of its U.S.-based employees.

The tracking tool records clicks, typing patterns, and occasional screenshots to provide high-quality data for training its next generation of AI agents.

Staff members are reportedly alarmed by the lack of an opt-out option and fear that their own actions are being used to build the technology that could eventually replace them.

Meta asserts that the data collection is necessary to achieve more natural and effective AI performance across its platforms.
