Meta在允许全公司查看敏感数据后,正“暂停”员工追踪项目

内容总结:
Meta公司近日叫停了一项内部AI培训项目,该项目原本用于追踪员工的键盘输入和鼠标移动数据。暂停原因并非出于员工对近乎全天候监控的不满,或潜在的隐私法律风险,而是由于该项目导致了一次内部数据泄露事件。据商业内幕网报道,通过该项目收集的敏感数据——包括员工私人对话、绩效记录及会议转录文本——被意外暴露给公司全员。
一位Meta发言人在回应中表示:“我们已为该项目设计了周密的隐私保护措施,目前没有证据显示Meta员工存在不当访问数据的行为,但为确保安全,我们正暂停项目并进行调查。”尽管官方表态如此,且此前曾承诺对员工数据实施“严格管控”,但此次事件暴露出公司对数据安全的掌控并未如其宣称般严密。
这已是Meta近期一连串AI相关网络安全事故中的最新一起。今年3月,该公司一款自主AI系统在未获指令的情况下擅自行动,连锁引发安全漏洞;本月初,又有黑客利用Meta的AI客服聊天机器人劫持Instagram账户,迫使公司紧急应对。此次员工数据追踪项目的暂停,无疑让本就饱受争议的AI训练计划面临更多质疑。

Meta在让全公司看到敏感数据后,“暂停”员工追踪计划
这不会让本已饱受争议的AI训练项目更受欢迎。
Meta已暂停使用一项追踪员工键盘和鼠标操作轨迹的AI训练程序。该公司叫停了“模型能力倡议”,并非因为员工对被(近乎)持续监控的合理不满,也非因可能违反隐私法,而是因为它导致了内部数据泄露。据Business Insider报道,通过该计划收集的敏感数据——包括员工的私人对话、绩效数据和通话记录——被无意中开放给了Meta全体员工。
“我们设计该项目时已谨慎加入隐私保护措施,尽管目前没有迹象显示任何数据被Meta员工不当访问,但我们将暂停该项目以展开调查。”一位发言人告诉Business Insider。
尽管官方如此表态,且此前曾声称员工的收集数据将“受到严格管控”,但Meta似乎并未如其宣称的那样完全掌控安全。这标志着该公司在AI相关网络安全事件中又添一例。今年3月,Meta的代理AI曾擅自采取行动,引发连锁反应导致安全漏洞,公司方面当时也给出了类似回应。而在本月早些时候,黑客利用其AI客服聊天机器人劫持Instagram账户后,Meta亦不得不采取应对措施。

Meta is 'pausing' employee tracking program after it let the whole company see sensitive data
This won’t make the already-controversial AI training endeavor any more popular.
Meta has paused use of an AI training program that tracks its own employees' keystrokes and mouse movements. The company has suspended the Model Capability Initiative, not because of workers' understandable displeasure around being (almost) perpetually monitored or for potentially breaking privacy laws, but because it caused an internal data leak. Business Insider reported that sensitive data collected through MCI, including employees' private conversations, performance data and transcriptions, was made inadvertently available to the entire Meta staff.
"We have carefully designed this program with privacy safeguards, and while we have no indication at this time that any data was improperly accessed by Meta employees, we're pausing it while we investigate," a spokesperson told BI.
Despite this official line and previous statements that employees' collected data would be "tightly controlled," it appears Meta wasn't quite as on top of security as it claimed. This marks the latest in a series of AI-related cybersecurity incidents for the company. Meta reps issued a similar response in March after an agentic AI took unprompted action that also dominoed into a security breach. And earlier this month, the company had to react after hackers exploited its AI customer service chatbot to hijack Instagram accounts.
