Meta is under scrutiny for implementing a system that records employee actions to train AI agents, coinciding with plans to lay off 8,000 workers. The Model Capability Initiative (MCI) logs mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes without opt-out options, as revealed by internal memos. This data collection aims to enhance AI's ability to autonomously perform tasks, transforming employee workflows into training data. The layoffs, set to begin on May 20, will affect approximately 10% of Meta's workforce. The company is shifting towards a model where AI agents handle most tasks, with humans overseeing and refining their work. This shift is part of a broader trend in the tech industry, with companies like Amazon and Salesforce also announcing significant job cuts. Meta assures that MCI data will not be used for performance evaluations, focusing solely on AI model training.
