Meta Pauses Employee Mouse-Tracking AI Training Program After Internal Data Exposure

Meta has paused its Model Capability Initiative (MCI), an internal program that tracks employee mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes to train AI models. The company stopped the program on June 22, 2026, after Reuters reviewed documents showing that sensitive employee data collected through MCI was unintentionally accessible to all Meta staff. It has not announced when the program might restart or if it will return in its current form.
