What was discussed at the meeting?
According to a report by Eli Tan in The New York Times, Mark Zuckerberg met in August with Meta's chief AI officer Alexandr Wang and head of AI product Nat Friedman. The conversation also touched on Instinct, a 14-person startup whose AI agent was taking off.
Per the report, Zuckerberg said Muse was ready to launch despite the risks. The account is based on three sources.
Why it matters
Muse sits at the center of Meta's consumer AI agent push. In recent days, the agent has been linked to security vulnerabilities, user surveillance claims and concerns over access to accounts.
The phrase "despite the risks" signals how fast the company wants to ship its new agent. As AI agents gain access to personal data and accounts, security and privacy debates across the industry are intensifying.
