Meta Muse AI agent privacy risks exposed

Security researchers and privacy advocates are raising alarms over Meta’s Muse AI assistant after discovering it compiles detailed profiles of users' social circles on an hourly basis. The app aggregates data from contacts, messages, and photos to build intimate portraits of relationships, a process critics argue exploits dark patterns in the user interface to secure broad consent. While Meta maintains that data collection is opt-in and based on public or shared information, incidents have already occurred where the agent revealed private addresses and message histories. This development underscores the growing tension between autonomous AI agents and individual privacy rights.
