Muse's Broad Access Raises Privacy Questions

Meta launched Muse as a general-purpose AI agent that can interact with apps and personal data to complete tasks, while saying it uses an isolated environment and requests permission for sensitive actions.

Subsequent reports have raised questions about default use of interactions for AI training, the breadth of data access, and cases in which private information was reportedly accessed or shared. The central issue is whether permission controls and technical safeguards reliably match what users expect when an agent works across their services and devices.
