Meta has introduced Muse, a personal AI agent that requests access to sensitive user data including email, calendars, payments, and health services. This launch represents Meta's largest consumer AI initiative and tests whether users will trust the company with extensive personal information.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Meta's new personal AI agent Muse wants access to users' email, calendars, payments, health services, and more — making the company's biggest consumer AI bet yet a major test of whether people still trust Meta with their data.

Muse's success depends on consumer trust in Meta's data handling, a critical factor given the breadth of personal data involved. The outcome could influence the adoption of AI agents that integrate deeply into users' digital lives.
