Yeah, don’t give Meta’s Muse app access to your Mac
Meta’s new Muse AI agent promises to act on your behalf, but granting it full access to your Mac raises serious privacy and safety concerns.
Meta Muse is the latest version of a personal AI agent initially announced for iPhone, now also made available for Mac computers.
The ability of AI systems to act as agents, carrying out tasks on our behalf, is heralded as the single biggest development in technology, a capability that Siri AI brings to Apple devices.
Users tend to trust the privacy and safety safeguards Apple has built into Siri AI, whereas similar third‑party agents may lack comparable protections.
One tech writer’s experience of giving Meta Muse full access to a Mac vividly illustrates why doing so is strongly discouraged.
Advice to users: carefully review any permissions you grant to AI agents, rely only on reputable sources, and protect your personal data and Mac’s security.
