Summary
Meta is installing a tool called Model Capability Initiative (MCI) on US employees' computers that records their activity, including mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots from work apps and websites. This recorded data will be used to train Meta's AI agents to perform computer tasks more like humans do, though Meta states the data won't be used to evaluate employee job performance.
