Meta to capture employee keystrokes and mouse movements for AI training

Meta plans to begin recording employee mouse movements and keystrokes to train AI systems, according to Reuters. The company has not disclosed which AI models will be trained on this data, nor whether employees can opt out. The move follows broader industry trends of using internal productivity data to improve AI assistants and code completion tools, though the scope of Meta's data collection appears unusually granular. The announcement has sparked discussion on Hacker News, where commenters questioned the privacy implications and whether such monitoring would affect employee behaviour. This matters because it signals how far companies may go to source training data for workplace AI tools.
