At Meta's Connect event the company showcased its new Muse AI agent, which the article says 'appears to be an early hit.' The writer highlights passages from Mark Zuckerberg's recent interview and raises concerns about passive recording via Meta Glasses, content made with the glasses (which Meta says it has down-ranked on Instagram), and broader questions about communication and teen safety.
A writer tested Meta’s consumer AI agent Muse (using an avatar named Marley) on routine tasks: it accessed Gmail to draft and send emails, logged into an online account to check plan details, and located an espresso machine part and added it to a shopping cart (the user completed payment). Muse opened virtual browser windows to perform searches and account actions but could not make phone calls to complete tasks that require voice interaction.
GeekWire reports that Amazon is blocking Meta’s Muse AI agent from making purchases on users' behalf, showing a popup that continued access by an "unauthorized AI agent" violates Amazon’s Conditions of Use. Amazon told GeekWire it was not informed by Meta that Muse would access the store and expressed privacy and security concerns about Muse not identifying itself and potentially capturing credentials; Meta has been contacted for comment.
