SUMMARY

Meta is installing invasive new tracking software on all U.S.-based employees’ computers that captures every mouse movement, click, and keystroke.

The surveillance tool, named Model Capability Initiative (MCI), runs on work-related apps and websites and takes occasional screen snapshots for context. All data feeds directly into training artificial intelligence models to build autonomous AI agents capable of performing employee work tasks without human involvement.

Internal memos seen by Reuters explicitly state the purpose: to improve AI in areas where it still struggles to replicate human-computer interaction, such as choosing dropdown menus and using keyboard shortcuts.
