On September 9th, Meta Platforms (META.O) launched Muse, a personal AI agent application that allows users to delegate digital tasks such as making appointments, filling out forms, and monitoring home cameras to an AI assistant. Alexander Wang, head of Meta AI, stated that Muse is powered by Metas Muse Spark series of underlying models and offers a free version as well as subscription services at $20 and $100 per month. He explained that Muse runs in an isolated environment within Metas computing infrastructure, does not read users actual passwords or payment information, and requests confirmation before performing sensitive operations. Users can choose whether to allow Meta to use their interactions with Muse to train AI models; if allowed, Meta will remove critical personally identifiable information before using it for model improvement. This product launch comes as Meta faces pressure regarding AI security, privacy, and ROI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously stated that personal AI agents will be a key driver of the companys future product and revenue growth.
