Meta is rolling out internal tracking software on US employee computers to record mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes and occasional screen snapshots to train AI models intended to automate routine work tasks. Internal memos seen by Reuters and shared by a Meta AI researcher say the tool targets specific work apps and websites to help models learn actions like using dropdowns and keyboard shortcuts.
