Meta is using a new tool to record employee computer activity to help train its AI agents to perform human-like work tasks.

Summary

Meta has introduced an internal tool called the Model Capability Initiative (MCI) to record US-based employees' mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots. According to spokesperson Tracy Clayton, this data will train AI models to better navigate computer interfaces and automate daily work tasks. CTO Andrew Bosworth indicated that this initiative is part of a broader strategy, the Agent Transformation Accelerator, aimed at shifting human roles toward directing and reviewing AI-driven work. Meta asserts that the data is not intended for performance evaluations and includes safeguards for sensitive content.
