Meta is installing tracking software on US staffers' computers to capture mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes in work-related apps for use in AI training

Meta is rolling out surveillance software on its U.S. employees' work computers. The software captures mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes within work-related applications. The collected data will be funneled into the company's AI training efforts.

The move turns Meta's own workforce into a data pipeline. Every interaction employees have with internal tools becomes raw material for building smarter models. It's a bold — and likely controversial — approach to sourcing training data from the people on payroll.

Details remain thin on which specific AI systems will benefit from the collected behavioral data, or whether employees can opt out. But the signal is clear: Meta wants every possible edge in the AI race, and it's starting with the people who already work there.

The tracking is limited to work-related apps, according to the report from Reuters.
