Meta to Use Employee Activity Data for AI Training

As part of a new data collection strategy to improve AI model performance, Meta plans to utilize its own employees' work activity data.

The data to be collected includes employees' mouse movements and keystrokes (keyboard input). The goal is to learn user behavior patterns to develop more sophisticated AI agents and automation tools.

This move is seen as an attempt to leverage high-quality internal corporate data amid intensifying competition for data. However, it could raise concerns about employee privacy violations and surveillance.
