NEW YORK ¨C Meta is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees¡¯ computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its artificial intelligence models, part of a broad initiative to build AI agents that can perform work tasks autonomously, the company told staffers in internal memos.
The tool, called Model Capability Initiative (MCI), will run on work-related apps and websites and will also take occasional snapshots of the content on employees¡¯ screens, according to one of the memos, posted by a staff AI research scientist on Tuesday in a channel for the company¡¯s model-building Meta SuperIntelligence Labs team.
The purpose, according to the ?memo, was ?to improve the company¡¯s AI models in areas where they struggle to replicate how humans interact with computers, like choosing from dropdown menus and using keyboard shortcuts.
