Meta Pauses Internal AI Training Program After Employee Data Exposure
Meta has paused its internal AI training program, the Model Capability Initiative (MCI), which tracks employee mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes, following revelations that sensitive employee data—including private conversations and performance information—was accessible company-wide. The program, launched in April for U.S.-based employees, is under investigation after an employee filed a high-priority security incident report. Meta stated it has privacy safeguards in place and no evidence of improper data access but is halting the program while reviewing the issue.
