Meta pauses controversial employee-tracking program after security review
Meta paused its Model Capability Initiative, an employee-tracking program that collected keystroke and screen-capture data from staff laptops to train AI systems, after an internal security review revealed excessive data accessibility. The program faced internal backlash and compliance concerns due to the high-risk nature of the collected data, which included AI prompts, private conversations, and performance information.
