Former Meta Security Chief Calls Password Access for AI Agents 'Insane'

Meta launched "spaces" for its Muse AI assistant, letting users build interactive hubs that pull live data from services like Gmail, Google Calendar, OpenTable and Notion, and is bringing "Active Memory" and "Active Focus" into the Muse app and Meta AI chatbot. Former Meta chief security officer Alex Stamos said on the Big Technology Podcast that giving agents access to a password vault and finances is "totally insane," while JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Chase blocks external AI agents from operating on customers' behalf, citing a "liability transfer." Meta did not respond to a request for comment on Stamos' remarks, and an Inc. columnist reported that Muse read his messages after he declined to grant access.
