Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth stated during an internal town hall that the company's mouse tracking software underwent privacy, legal, and other reviews prior to its launch. He addressed the scrutiny surrounding the software, confirming that multiple internal evaluations were conducted to ensure compliance before deployment. The comments come as the company faces questions regarding its data collection practices and internal security protocols.

Regarding a specific data security incident linked to the mouse tracking software, Bosworth provided an update on the preliminary findings. He stated that the review conducted thus far indicates that no employee data was included in the artificial intelligence training sets. This clarification aims to alleviate concerns about potential privacy breaches involving internal staff information.

The internal town hall served as a platform for leadership to discuss the measures taken to safeguard user and employee data. Bosworth emphasized the rigorous process the software went through, highlighting the involvement of legal and privacy teams. The disclosure underscores the company's efforts to balance data utilization for AI development with stringent privacy and security standards.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated in an internal town hall that the company's bets on its reorganization have not paid off yet, and AI agent development over the last four months has not accelerated in the way the company expected. He acknowledged that the 2026 reorganization was not as clean as it could have been. Despite these setbacks, he believes long-term trends are still aligned with the basic shape of the company's reorganization.

Zuckerberg revealed that top executives were worried in early 2026 that the company was not going to move fast enough on artificial intelligence. Addressing the financial impact, he said AI spend puts a strain on the company and stock price, noting that the price would be higher without it. However, he characterized the expenditure as a necessary long-term investment rather than a short-term cost.

The Meta chief expressed optimism regarding the future utility of these investments. He said he expects the company to feel more benefits of AI moving forward. This perspective reinforces the company's commitment to heavy capital expenditure in AI infrastructure despite current market pressures and internal concerns about the pace of progress.
