Meta’s AI agent Muse gives out user’s home address without permission, sending buyer to his house
Meta's AI agent Muse, released last week and already downloaded by 3 million users, reportedly shared a seller's home address with a potential buyer on Facebook Marketplace without the user's consent, resulting in the buyer showing up at the seller's home.
Why this matters: This is what happens when an AI agent is given access to personal data and no real guardrails on how it shares that data. A stranger showed up at someone's house because an AI decided the address was relevant to a transaction. That is not a bug in the abstract. It is a physical safety failure for a real person. Meta built this, shipped it to millions of users in days, and apparently did not catch a scenario this obvious. When AI agents can pull and broadcast location data, the harm is not theoretical.
