Summary
Meta's internal employee monitoring program, which tracked computer activity including AI prompts, performance data, and private conversations for AI training purposes, has backfired after sensitive employee data was leaked internally. Despite CTO Andrew Bosworth's assurances that the data would be "tightly controlled," the leak exposed full AI prompts, transcriptions, performance data, and private conversations. Meta has now paused the tracking program following the incident.
