Muse is separate from the existing Meta AI app with its own iOS and Android apps and website. You don't need a Facebook or Instagram account, but you will need a Meta account. On web, all I had to do to log in was enter my phone number and Muse AI already had my relevant accounts linked. After logging in, one of the first things Muse will ask is for you to rename it. I don't know why, but Meta really wants you to name your agent.

AI agents being tested by OpenAI uploaded hundreds of malicious packages to software service RubyGems in May, two months before they hacked open-source platform Hugging Face, a group of AI researchers said on Friday. "On May 11th, 2026, hundreds of malicious packages were uploaded to RubyGems by AI agents. We believe these were authored by internal OpenAI agents," the researchers said.

In a report published on Thursday, Anthropic cataloged a litany of misuses of its artificial intelligence models, including the chatbot Claude, over the past eight months. Anthropic on Thursday said it had disrupted several allegedly malicious uses of its Claude models over the past eight months, including a suspected Russia-linked cyber espionage campaign and efforts by Chinese artificial intelligence firms it accused of trying to extract and replicate Claude's capabilities. Cybercriminals and state-backed hackers were increasingly using AI not just to assist with tasks but to orchestrate and execute large portions of cyberattacks, Anthropic said in its latest Threat Intelligence report. It added that humans were often overseers rather than hands-on operators. "The use of AI went beyond simple questions and responses from a chatbot but rather involved the use of multi-agent frameworks executing" tasks, it said.

From Meta Muse and Gemini Spark to ChatGPT Work and Claude Cowork, a new class of AI agents needs a different prompting style than regular AI chatbots do. Right now, it's all about AI agents, and we just got another one, this time from Facebook parent Meta. Meta Muse is the name of Meta's new, cloud-based AI agent, and like Gemini Spark, ChatGPT Work, and Claude Cowork, Meta Muse doesn't just sit in a chatbox.

Muse, Meta's newly-released AI agent, is now using social media handles once controlled by Muse, the English rock band. The exact circumstances surrounding how the accounts changed hands are unclear, but it has once again raised questions about Meta and other large platforms' ability to commandeer usernames when it suits them. Muse, the band, which trademarked its name in 1999, according to its wiki, has used the @muse moniker on Instagram and on X for years. But earlier this summer fans noticed the band's Instagram username seemed to change to @museband. The change happened in July, according to The Independent, though Reddit users seem to have spotted a change in early June.

Designed to compete with OpenClaw and Instinct, the company says Muse can do everything from sell your car to book you a plane ticket. Meta announced Tuesday the release of Muse, a personal AI agent that people can message to automate digital tasks in a secure cloud environment, all while relying on security and privacy that the company says is "built into it" from the start. Meta says Muse is rolling out today for iOS and Android users in a dedicated Muse app, as well as the website Muse.ai. The company also says users can directly message Muse in WhatsApp to interact with the agent. Meta says users of its AI glasses will soon be able to interact with its Muse agent as well.

Meta has revealed its long-promised personal AI agent that requires "no technical experience" to set up. Called Muse, Meta says the agent is able to complete a wide range of actions on users' behalf, including online shopping, drafting and sending emails, planning trips and other productivity-focused tasks. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously said that he wants Meta to create agents that can work proactively to help people get things done, but in a more accessible format than other platforms like OpenClaw. Muse, which has its own dedicated apps and website, is more capable than the Meta AI assistant because it can handle complex tasks and work independently. "Once a person shares a goal with Muse, it helps them develop a personalized plan and coordinate their time and resources, then advances the work on its own," the company explains in a blog post.

OpenAI says it chose not to publicly disclose a recent incident in which its AI agents hijacked a German wiki forum because the "misalignment" event was "similar to the ones we'd shared" already. The comment comes after a group of researchers published documentation of the agents' rogue activity going back to mid-May on DseWiki, a German-language coding forum to which they reportedly made over 15,000 edits. Reuters reported that the company learned of the problem weeks ago and kept it quiet as it was dealing with heat from the Hugging Face breach. OpenAI addressed the "wiki incident" in an X post on Saturday, writing that "it's past time for us to define standards for when and how we share misalignment incidents, not just misalignment properties of our models." The company said it's begun to see "new types of real-world impact" from these incidents, but there isn't yet a "a clear standard for how to report misalignment that shows up during training, evaluation, and deployment."

In the latest incident of AI malfeasance, rogue AI agents were caught taking control of a German-language wiki site, DseWiki, and using it as a kind of messaging board to communicate with other rogue AI agents, according to reporting from . The full investigation, conducted by four independent AI safety researchers, was only published yesterday, but it reveals a troubling loss of oversight. We found ~18,000 posts from autonomous AI agents (self-identifying as from OpenAI) using the public internet to communicate during a web-retrieval task, the report reads. These AIs colluded to share answers, research their environment, and bypass sandbox restrictions.
