xAI mandated the installation of employee tracking software Hubstaff on personal computers of Grok chatbot trainers, leading to privacy issues. The initial deadline was July 11, causing some employees to resign. After inquiries, xAI revised its policy to allow postponement for those awaiting company-issued laptops. Hubstaff can monitor application usage and URLs during work hours, while concerns linger over personal device monitoring.
The AI startup told the tutors who train its Grok chatbot earlier this month that they would be expected to download a workforce management system called Hubstaff, according to a document viewed by Business Insider.
The company has said it will only use the system to monitor URL and application visits during designated work hours, according to the document.
