Meta's Muse AI Faces Privacy Flaws and User Trust Concerns Over Data Handling
Meta's Muse AI has faced privacy and trust concerns after security researchers found a flaw exposing nearly 6,800 shared chat links online, some containing sensitive information. Meta temporarily suspended the conversation-sharing feature to address these issues. Separately, a software engineer stopped using Muse after receiving an unsolicited message referencing an email service he had not connected, raising questions about the AI's data handling and permissions. Meta acknowledged a bug causing the assistant to generate unintended information.
