Meta's Muse AI assistant faces privacy concerns over mac notification access

A user has raised concerns that Meta's AI assistant Muse is accessing notification content on macOS without permission. The issue was highlighted by Jason Aten, a contributor at Inc. magazine, who claims Muse can answer questions about messages without explicit authorization. Aten alleges that Muse accesses notification previews to gather information. In response, David Singleton, a Meta Superintelligence Labs executive, clarified that Muse requires 'full disk access' on macOS and only collects data from the Messages app if users grant permission. Singleton emphasized that Muse does not monitor notifications unless explicitly allowed. The discrepancy between Aten's account and Singleton's explanation has sparked debate over Muse's data access practices. The situation remains under investigation as both parties present conflicting perspectives on how data is being retrieved.
