Personal AI agents sound great until you look at the permission screen

Summary

The article discusses privacy concerns with Meta's personal AI agent Muse, questioning whether users will have meaningful controls over the agent's actions or just a one-time permission.

I saw Meta’s pitch for Muse: it can handle email, calendars, shopping, and a bunch of everyday tasks. Cool. That’s also basically the keys to my entire digital life. I’m not completely against it. I’d probably let an agent find flights, organize my inbox, or put together a shopping cart. Sending the email, booking the flight, or completing the purchase without asking me feels very different. The part I’m still unsure about is whether normal users will get meaningful controls, or just one giant “Allow” button. What would you let a personal agent do on its own, and what would always require confirmation?
