ai agent makers' empty privacy promises
meta and openai tout safer ai agents but can they deliver. users data still at risk.
meta's muse ai agent was launched as a safer alternative to openclaw, with ceo mark zuckerberg promising it was 'built from the ground up for privacy and security.' however, despite user data being stored on a secure vm, meta itself can still access the data. a security researcher exposed a zero-day vulnerability that could allow someone to take control of muse. additionally, muse collects and shares user data, including creating 'detailed profiles of all your friends and family.' openai's ceo sam altman also promised a new standard for privacy in frontier ai with dots, but it remains to be seen if they can keep these promises.
