So Meta installed software on all employee computers that records mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots. The program is called "Agent Transformation Accelerator." They chose the acronym ATA.

The Meta spokesperson actually said: "our models need real examples of how people use computers — mouse movements, clicking buttons, navigating dropdowns."
