Meta’s Muse AI assistant accused of exposing user’s home address

Meta’s newly launched Muse AI assistant is facing scrutiny after tech YouTuber Matt Robb said the tool exposed his home address to a stranger after being authorized to access his Facebook Marketplace account. In a post on Threads, Robb said screenshots from the interaction showed Muse acknowledging the mistake. The same screenshots also indicated that the assistant agreed to a deal at a price far below expectations and did not notify him in time. The incident comes only weeks after Meta introduced Muse as a personal AI assistant and highlighted its safety features. Meta had positioned the product as part of its push to keep pace with rivals including Anthropic and OpenAI. The case is now drawing attention to a broader issue around AI agents: whether systems given permission to act on behalf of users can safely handle private and sensitive information without causing unintended disclosure or unwanted transactions.
