Is Muse Meta's new 'AI Trojan Horse'?

Meta has launched Muse, a new AI assistant designed to watch, learn and act on your behalf. But is it a helpful digital companion, or the latest step in Big Tech's push into our personal lives?

Meta has launched Muse, a new AI assistant designed to watch, learn and act on your behalf, with the company promising a future where artificial intelligence helps manage everything from shopping and bookings to emails and daily tasks.

But is Muse a helpful digital companion, or the latest step in Big Tech's push into our personal lives? Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by AI technology critic Ed Zitron and AI consumer tech expert Ben Hatton to examine Meta's ambitious new AI agent and the wearable devices designed to keep it with you at all times.

The panel explores whether Muse is a breakthrough in personal AI, what users may be giving up in exchange for convenience, and whether Meta's latest innovation risks becoming a new gateway to unprecedented data collection and influence over everyday decisions.

As AI companies race to put intelligent agents at the centre of our lives, AI Decoded asks a simple question: is Muse your next indispensable assistant, or Meta's Trojan horse?
