Earlier this month, xAI told the tutors who help train its Grok chatbot that they’d need to start using a tracking tool called Hubstaff, according to a document seen by Business Insider. If they didn’t have a company laptop, they were expected to install the software on their personal computers by July 11. Sources familiar with the situation said tutors were told they had to allow screen monitoring and that using the tool was not optional. The company said the tracking software would only be used to monitor websites and apps accessed during official work hours, according to the document. But according to Hubstaff’s own website, the tool can also track things like mouse movements and keystrokes—which raised red flags for some employees. Slack messages seen by Business Insider show several workers voicing privacy concerns. One even said they planned to resign over the rollout, and their message got dozens of supportive reactions from coworkers. According to Business Insider, one of the workers described the move in a Slack message as “surveillance disguised as productivity” and “manipulation masked as culture.”
