Audio By Carbonatix Meta is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees’ computers to capture mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes for training its artificial-intelligence models. This is part of a broad initiative to build AI agents that can autonomously perform work tasks, the company told staffers in internal memos seen by Reuters. The tool will run on a list of work-related apps and websites and will also take occasional snapshots of the content on employees’ screens for context, according to one memo, posted by a staff AI research scientist on Tuesday in a dedicated internal channel for the company's model-building Meta SuperIntelligence Labs team. The purpose of the exercise, according to the memo, was to improve the company's models in areas where they still struggle, such as choosing from dropdown menus and using keyboard shortcuts. "This is where all Meta ‌employees ⁠can help our models get better simply by doing their daily work," it said. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said the data collected would not be used for performance assessments or any other purpose besides model training, and that safeguards were in place to protect sensitive content. "If we're building agents to help people complete everyday ​tasks using computers, our models need real examples ​of how ⁠people actually use them — things like mouse movements, clicking buttons, and navigating dropdown menus. "To help, we’re launching an internal tool that will ⁠capture ​these kinds of inputs on certain ​applications to help us train our models," said Stone.
