Friends don't let friends feed their data to AI agents
The rise of consumer AI agents, such as Meta's Muse, highlights a troubling trend in surveillance technology. These tools request deep access to personal data, including bank accounts, messages, and contacts, to provide autonomous convenience. However, this widespread data collection extends beyond the consenting user to include friends, family, and acquaintances. Critics warn that this mass harvesting of third-party data creates serious privacy concerns and forces an unfair tradeoff between digital convenience and personal security.
