‘Simply by doing their daily work’: Meta tracks staff activity to teach AI how to replace them

Zuckerberg Meta AI.

• Meta is recording employee clicks, keystrokes, and screen activity to train AI agents on real work behavior
• The program is part of a broader push to build AI systems that can perform everyday tasks with minimal human input
• The move comes just ahead of reports of layoffs at the company

Meta has begun collecting everything its employees do as they go about their normal work to train its AI models, as first reported by Reuters. The Model Capability Initiative records mouse movements and clicks, keyboard keystrokes, and even occasional screenshots from computers used by Meta employees in the U.S. The company wants to observe how people actually use software, then feed that behavior into AI models so they can learn to do the same things.
