Meta (META) to Track Employee Activity for AI Training Purposes

AI Summary

Meta (META) announced it will implement a new tool to track employee keystrokes and clicks to gather data for training its AI models. This decision follows the layoff of approximately 2,000 employees this year and comes as the company anticipates further job cuts. Meta's planned investment in AI could reach $140 billion by 2026, nearly doubling last year's spending. Additionally, its acquisition of Scale AI for over $14 billion aims to enhance its AI development capabilities, with initial projects being launched from the Meta Superintelligence Labs group.
