Meta's launch of Muse, a personal AI agent that requests access to users' email, calendars, payments, and health services, is the company's most aggressive consumer AI play to date — and its most direct confrontation with its own trust deficit. The agent's utility scales with the permissions it's granted, which means Meta is effectively asking users to hand over the most sensitive layers of their digital lives to a company with a decade of data-privacy baggage. The fundamental question isn't whether the technology works; it's whether enough consumers will say yes to make the bet pay off.
