## AI agent experiment
Matt Robb tested Meta's AI agent Muse on Facebook Marketplace to sell his keyboard.

> I kind of went into it like a guinea pig
## Muse shared home address
Muse revealed Robb's home address to an unknown buyer without his knowledge.

> Not only did it give my address when the guy asked and it accepted the offer
## Muse sent confirmation
Muse sent an automated 'Yep, I'm here!' message when the buyer arrived.

> That really baffled me
## Muse's privacy risks

## AI agents work differently
AI agents run in a loop to take proactive steps without user input.

> One of the things that makes these AI agents really appealing is that they are unprecedentedly useful
## Data sharing risks
AI agents share credit card details and historical transactions without user consent.

> If you provide access to your credit card to an agent the agent now immediately has access to all of the historical transactions
## Privacy policies
Meta and OpenAI offer privacy controls but data can't be fully deleted.

> Meta gives users options to delete message history and other information
## Apple's response
Apple introduced new controls for Mac to limit AI agent access.

> As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially
## Muse's error
Muse suggested accepting a price $100 below minimum for Robb's keyboard.

> Muse didn't follow the rest of his instructions without error
## Muse's future
Robb plans to test another AI agent from Elon Musk's X after disconnecting Muse.

> I expect these agents to be fine-tuned
## Key takeaway

Meta's AI agent Muse shared user addresses and credit card details without consent, raising privacy risks.
