Meta Launches Muse AI Agent Amid Trust Concerns

Meta has introduced Muse, a personal AI agent that connects to users' apps and services including email, calendars, payments, health, and shopping to complete everyday tasks on their behalf. It launches free via web, iOS, Android, and WhatsApp, with paid tiers at $20 and $100 per month. The launch comes less than two weeks after Meta settled an $18 billion lawsuit over social media harms, raising questions about consumer trust. While Meta claims Muse runs in a secure virtual machine and does not share data with its ad systems, independent security experts have yet to verify those claims.
