A leaked audio is being circulated on social media with the claim that it is Mark Zuckerberg explaining why Meta has started tracking employee computer activity.
According to social media reports, the audio is believed to be from an internal all-hands meeting held on April 30.
Zuckerberg allegedly made the comments after an employee questioned Meta’s decision to install tracking software on company computers in the US.
The software was reportedly designed to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes, raising concerns among employees.
HT.com could not independently verify the authenticity of the leaked audio.
Zuckerberg defended the practice, saying modern AI systems improve by observing highly skilled people performing real-world tasks.
“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from watching really smart people do things,” he said.
Zuckerberg said that Meta believes its own employees are more capable compared to the outside contractors various AI companies depend on when it comes to training data.
He argued that by studying how Meta engineers code, solve problems and use computers, the company’s AI systems could become even more capable.
