Amazon Blocks Meta's Muse AI Agent Over Unauthorized Access Concerns
Amazon has blocked Meta's new AI agent, Muse, from accessing its retail site after Meta declined to remove the bot. Muse assists users with tasks like shopping and booking but Amazon prohibits automated tools from making purchases on its platform without permission. Amazon requested Meta to restrict Muse's access, citing concerns over unauthorized use and potential privacy risks. Meta stated that Muse securely handles user credentials without accessing passwords or payment methods. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions over AI agents operating on e-commerce sites.
