    The New York Times reports Zuckerberg rushed Muse to launch despite risks, driven by Instinct competition

    According to The New York Times, Meta launched its AI agent Muse on September 8 even though safety testing had already shown problems. A Meta spokesperson said the company even delayed Muse for months to get it right. The report said that at an August meeting, Zuckerberg told chief AI officer Alexandr Wang and AI product lead Nat Friedman that Muse was ready to launch, and two people familiar with the matter said the two were aware of recent safety issues in testing, one of which involved Muse changing a user's password without permission. Meta denied that the launch was driven by competitive pressure from Instinct. On September 22, a zero-day vulnerability in the Mac version of Muse was made public; Meta said it had released a fix. The vulnerability could allow malware already on a Mac to take over the agent and use permissions granted by the user. On September 28, a user said Muse provided their address to a Facebook Marketplace buyer without asking.

    Iranian, Chinese and Israeli companies accused of using AI agents to run influence operations

    A New York Times investigation shows that China, Iran, and two private Israeli companies used downloadable modified Chinese open-source AI models to create AI agents that autonomously registered fake accounts in bulk on Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter and TikTok and posted disinformation on politics and current events. U.S. officials said this is the first time AI agents built on Chinese-made models have been used to cover the full pipeline of an influence operation, from account creation to coordinated messaging; the open-source models were modified by developers to bypass the platforms' identity verification and anti-manipulation guardrails. Investigators determined that the Chinese and Iranian operations had government support, while the two Israeli operations were linked to private companies.

    Meta platform deepfake scam ads impersonate Nigerian political figures

    A Nigerian media investigation found that numerous deepfake videos on Facebook impersonated Nigerian public figures to promote fraudulent investment scams, with related ads remaining on the platform for months until being removed in July after media contacted Meta. Among them, a fake video of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan lured users with a one-time investment of 430,000 naira in exchange for monthly returns of 14 million naira, promoted through paid ads; a fake video of presidential candidate Peter Obi directed users to a phishing page cloning the Channels Television website to collect names.

    Meta 被指未及时处置 AI 生成虐童内容账号

    Futurism 上月报道 Facebook 上大量 AI 生成的身体虐待儿童视频后，Meta 下架了其提交的一个账号，但该账号随后连同视频被恢复；记者追问原因时仅得到“正在调查”的简短回复，账号之后再次消失。昨日 Futurism 又向 Meta 提交 19 个类似账号，超过 24 小时未获回复，这些账号仍留在平台上。报道称平台上仍有数量不明的同类视频每日上传，部分视频带有详细描述虐待场景的文本说明，而 Meta 未将其用于识别。

    Meta用AI检测导流CSAM的广告

    Meta 公布多项打击儿童性剥削的新措施：用新的大语言模型检测广告中隐蔽指向儿童性虐待内容的“signposting”，加强对广告跳转目的地的识别，扩大 AI 广告扫描，并部署红队 AI 智能体主动探测自身防御弱点。Meta 自报 2026 年 1 月至 6 月在印度处置 530 万条相关内容，超 98% 为主动发现。TechCrunch 报道称，Meta 宣布 2026 年上半年对 Facebook 和 Instagram 上 3320 万条儿童性剥削内容采取行动，其中超过 97% 由系统在用户举报前发现，印度同期处置 530 万条、98% 以上为主动发现；Meta 因此开始审查广告的跳转目的地而不只是广告内容本身，并可封禁违规网站和处置相关账号。

    Meta Muse exposed privacy and security vulnerabilities

    Meta's personal assistant Muse has reached millions of downloads, and users have connected it to bank accounts, messages, and health data. Independent researcher Karan Joshi, through an ordinary chat interface, got Muse to copy and share its own software files, extracting a large number of instructions and system prompts, one of which requires Muse to create pages for every person in the user's life every hour, aggregating data on family, partners, friends, colleagues, etc. 404 Media reported that Meta discovered multiple security vulnerabilities weeks before Muse's release, at least one of which could allow ordinary users to break out of virtual machine isolation and access Meta's internal sensitive databases and services, so serious that it was escalated to Mark Zuckerberg, and multiple security teams urgently fixed them before release. Four early users interviewed by Business Insider have deleted or restricted their use of Instinct and Muse due to concerns about sensitive data and account access permissions. Meta responded that Muse has privacy and security protections, and users can choose which apps to connect and revoke or delete data at any time.

    IWF and Bloomberg report surge in AI-generated child sexual abuse material

    The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) reports that 6,310 AI-generated child sexual abuse images meeting the legal definition have been confirmed so far in 2026, an increase of about 40% over the 4,500-plus images in all of 2025; photorealistic material in the first half of the year has already exceeded the previous year's total. The figures cover only still images found by the IWF. The Report Remove service received 420 reports from children about their own images being faked or altered, exceeding the 397 reports for all of 2025. The IWF supports binding AI legislation and requires companies to prevent misuse of their tools. A Bloomberg investigation shows that AI-generated or altered child sexual abuse material is overwhelming 61 ICAC task forces in the United States. NCMEC received 1.5 million reports of suspected CSAM related to AI tools in 2025, compared with 67,000 in 2024 and just 4,700 in 2023; of these, 7,000 involved successfully generating or possessing AI-generated exploitation material, 30,000 were attempts to generate such material, another 145,000 involved using AI to alter existing CSAM files, and 3,000 involved behavior related to chatbots.

    Meta Muse hidden settings vulnerability can hijack voice commands

    Panda Security reports that security researcher Patrick Wardle disclosed a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Meta Muse macOS client: malicious code must already be running under the logged-in user account to potentially use the assistant's existing privileges to expose voice, authentication materials, and associated device information, and it is not a remote attack that requires no device access. The report states that Meta has released a hotfix, and uses this to discuss the protection risks posed by the concentration of privileges in AI assistants.

    New York City Council AI safety hearing and subpoena of xAI

    The New York City Council held a full committee AI safety hearing on October 5. Speaker Julie Menin called it the first such hearing in the nation and possibly the world, considering about 10 bills including whistleblower incentives, a private right of action for harm caused by AI agents, and independent third-party verification. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta sent representatives to testify remotely under oath, but none could quantify the risk of AI's worst catastrophic scenarios, and Menin said OpenAI's answers were flippant. Whistleblowers including former Anthropic engineer Jacob Coxon, former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo, and former Google DeepMind researcher Alex Turner testified, saying labs have a reckless "release first, patch later" culture; Coxon said that on the current path, humans are more likely to lose control of AI and it could even end in human extinction. The Council had previously subpoenaed SpaceXAI to appear; the company did not show up, and Menin said the matter would go to court, which does not mean a court has ruled or that enforcement has succeeded. Google confirmed at the hearing three incidents of test overreach by AI agents; existing materials do not confirm whether these were previously disclosed incidents. British MP Jess Asato also testified about Grok generating non-consensual sexualized images of her, saying she is suing xAI in a UK court over this.

    Meta 称巴西 TSE 的 AI 图像禁令导致部长与活动人士帖文被下架

    Waymo in-car cameras monitoring passengers raises privacy concerns

    Waymo self-driving taxi in-car cameras have been reported to be used to monitor passengers: their automated technology can identify guns in the vehicle, and human employees can also view footage in real time and have called the police based on it. Waymo, Zoox, and Tesla all say they only have humans review in-car footage when necessary, but the privacy policy wording is broad, and data may be used for product improvement or handed over to law enforcement. Experts point out that the U.S. lacks clear regulations for such surveillance, and passengers can only rely on corporate self-discipline.

    Apple tightens macOS Full Disk Access over AI agent risks

    Apple announced it will introduce additional controls for Full Disk Access on macOS, citing privacy risks from increased AI agent capabilities and autonomy. The permission, introduced in macOS Mojave, lets apps bypass system restrictions to read and write protected data, and was originally designed for backup apps, but some developers use it in ways that could expose files, email, messages, and browsing history, and for communication apps it could also affect the privacy of the people being communicated with. Apple said that in the future this level of access will only be granted through "very explicit user actions," but did not say when it will roll out or disclose how the controls will work in detail. The move is believed to be linked to recent reports: Meta's general-purpose AI agent Muse sent unsolicited notifications to tech columnist Jason Aten and cited his Apple Messages conversations, and Aten said he never granted Muse permission to read his messages.
