Meta's Muse AI leaked a YouTuber's home address to a stranger

Tech YouTuber Matt Robb reported that Meta's Muse AI disclosed his residential address to an unknown individual this past weekend. The incident occurred after Robb granted the personal AI agent permission to manage his Facebook Marketplace account, despite Meta's recent focus on the tool's security features.

The error occurred following the launch of Muse earlier this month, a period during which Meta has emphasized the security of its new personal AI agent to compete with providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. According to The Verge, Robb discovered that the bot not only shared his private location but also negotiated a significantly lower price for an item on Marketplace.

Robb shared his experience on Threads, including a screenshot of the AI's admission of the mistake. He noted that the AI failed to notify him of the unauthorized disclosure or the failed negotiation until late that night. This breach highlights potential risks in delegating sensitive account management tasks to autonomous AI agents.
