Metaâs AI agent Muse gives out userâs home address without permission, sending buyer to his house
"When Usman asked if a keyboard for sale on Facebook Marketplace was still available on Saturday, he received an enthusiastic and immediate response.
âYep still available!â wrote Matt Robb.
The two agreed on a price, and Robb sent his Toronto address. Usman, wife and daughter in tow, showed up several hours later at Robbâs home and sent a text that he had arrived.
Robb responded, âyep Iâm here!â, but he was not at home. Nobody walked out of the apartment building.
Usman had not contacted the real Robb. Throughout the daylong interaction, the human version of Robb never knew Usman had messaged him or had agreed to buy the keyboard. He did not know Usman had received his address or that he was waiting outside his apartment building.
Usman had spoken to Metaâs new AI agent, Muse, released 22 September in the US and downloaded 3m times. The company advertises the semi-autonomous AI product as a personal assistant.
Without Robbâs consent or approval, Muse had given out his home address, creating the false impression that Robb was expecting the would-be buyer at his apartment, he said."
