Meta is introducing a surveillance tool called the 'Model Capability Initiative' to monitor employee activities on work computers. This software will track keystrokes, mouse movements, and take screenshots while employees use work-related applications. The goal is to collect real-life data to enhance AI models, as Meta believes current models lack understanding of human computer usage. CTO Andrew Bosworth stated that this data collection will help realize a vision where AI agents perform tasks, allowing humans to focus on oversight and improvement.
