"The company is reportedly looking to develop AI agents that can complete work tasks autonomously, in perhaps one of the more conspicuous efforts to automate human workers' jobs we've come across as of late."
"According to an internal memo obtained by Reuters, the software is called 'Model Capability Initiative' and will run on work-related apps and websites. It will even take occasional screenshots."
"'This is where all Meta employees can help our models get better simply by doing their daily work,' the memo reads, as quoted by Reuters."
"'There is no limit on worker surveillance' in the US on a federal level, according to Yale University law professor Ifeoma Ajunwa."
Meta is installing tracking software on US employees' computers to monitor mouse movements and keystrokes for AI training. This initiative aims to develop AI agents capable of performing tasks autonomously, raising ethical concerns about replacing human workers. The software, named 'Model Capability Initiative,' will also take occasional screenshots and run on work-related applications. While Meta claims to implement safeguards for sensitive content, the lack of federal regulations on worker surveillance in the US exacerbates privacy issues, especially given Meta's poor reputation for data protection.
