Meta has paused its employee tracking software, the Model Capability Initiative (MCI), after a data leak exposed sensitive employee activity logs. The tool, designed to train AI models, inadvertently left data like keystrokes and screenshots accessible within the company, prompting an investigation and internal criticism.
Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth admitted the company mishandled the rollout of its new Applied AI division, causing chaos and undermining trust. He pledged to improve culture, communication, and career growth, while also addressing employee concerns about AI job displacement and new keystroke-tracking software.
Meta employees are experiencing low morale due to impending layoffs, mandatory tracking software, shrinking pay, and forced transfers, creating a "miserable moment" for many.

South Korea's National Tax Service has opened a tender for software licenses to track virtual asset transactions for tax evasion enforcement, with a budget of 146.5 million won (~$99,500).
