What is Meta's Muse?

Meta’s Muse is free, works through the night inside your email, calendar, and payment accounts, and makes its money by taking a small cut every time you buy something. In this episode, host Emily Laird reads the fine print on Meta’s new AI agent: the real guardrails (a Sentinel watchdog, one-time card numbers) alongside the catches (model training on by default, and a promised encryption lockbox that hasn’t shipped yet). She makes the case for permission scoping, which means handing over the valet key instead of the whole key ring, with practical rules for read-only access, smarter approvals, and weekly audit checks. If an AI is about to start shopping on your behalf, this is the reality check to hear before you hand over the wallet. 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
