Meta to Capture Employee Keystrokes and Screen Snapshots for AI Agent Training
Meta just made the harvest-then-replace cycle an explicit corporate program: install tracking software, capture employee keystrokes and screen snapshots, feed an Applied AI team building the agents that will handle the work, then lay off 10% in May. The surveillance framing will dominate headlines; the investment signal is quieter and bigger. Every F500 employer with more than 10,000 knowledge workers now holds a latent AI training asset on its balance sheet, and the first to build the governance layer around it will define the next decade of enterprise software economics.
