Meta has paused its Model Capability Initiative after sensitive employee data was exposed internally. The program tracks workers' keystrokes and mouse movements to train AI models. Company officials said they are investigating the incident.
Meta suspended the employee monitoring program following an internal security breach. Sensitive information including private conversations, performance data, and transcriptions became accessible to all staff.
A company spokesperson stated that the program was designed with privacy safeguards. Officials added they have no indication that data was improperly accessed and are pausing the initiative during the review.
Employees had previously raised concerns about the data collection practices. The pause comes amid a series of recent AI-related security issues at the company.
