Meta's AI Muse sparks creepy concerns
meta launched ai muse, a productivity tool that works but raises privacy concerns. it accessed specific instagram interests and gmail data.
meta has launched its ai muse assistant, a productivity tool designed to help users with tasks such as online shopping, emails, and trip planning. during testing, the ai agent successfully completed tasks like deleting thousands of promotional emails and making a purchase on amazon. however, the tool also autonomously gleaned specific interests linked to the author's instagram account, raising concerns about data privacy. meta says it designed muse to only exchange necessary data with third-party apps and doesn't share information with advertisers. the experience may impact users' trust in meta's ability to handle sensitive information, especially given the company's past track record on privacy.
