Meta to use employee keystroke data for AI training

Meta is developing an internal tool to capture employee mouse movements, keystrokes, and interface interactions for training its artificial intelligence models. The company's spokesperson explained that models require real examples of how people use computers to build agents that help with everyday tasks. This data collection will focus on specific applications, with safeguards implemented to protect sensitive content. Reuters first reported this development, highlighting how tech companies are aggressively seeking new training data sources. TechCrunch obtained a statement confirming the initiative, noting the data won't be used for other purposes. This approach follows recent reports about startups being mined for their internal communications from platforms like Slack and Jira. The trend raises significant privacy concerns as corporate communications become raw material for AI development.
