Meta's Muse AI Agent Expands Features as Data, Copyright, and Safety Concerns Grow

At a glance

Meta is steadily expanding its AI agent Muse with real-time voice conversation, an avatar that copies facial expressions and gestures, and Spaces, a workspace organized by topic. However, the rollout of Meta's AI terms has been indefinitely postponed over controversy about collecting news without permission, and concerns about personal data exposure have also been raised.

Key points

1. 1

   Muse's video call and avatar features are being rolled out in stages to users in the United States.

2. 2

   Meta has indefinitely delayed applying its AI terms due to controversy over collecting news content without permission.

3. 3

   Former security officials and outside experts warn that Muse's data collection methods increase the risk of exposing personal and financial information.

4. 4

   Media copyright, platforms' rights to use data, and protection of sensitive information are colliding with each other.

Why it matters

As AI can imitate faces and voices and gather large amounts of material, how to protect personal information and content rights is an important issue for both users and the media.
