Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, one of the world’s largest tech companies, is using his personal AI assistant ‘Muse’ to look after his family instead of handling office work. Zuckerberg said the AI agent manages everyday tasks, from ordering ingredients to bake cakes for his children to booking their outings. He believes technology’s real success lies in helping us become better fathers, husbands and friends, rather than keeping us busy. AI agent created to handle office work, becomes family manager Earlier this year, the AI agent that Mark Zuckerberg created to handle the company’s operations is now managing his personal life in real life. In a podcast, Zuckerberg said, ‘When I use my Muse agent, I just want it to help me be a better father and a better husband and be better present for my friends.’ Helps with baking with 3-year-old daughter Mark Zuckerberg’s 3-year-old daughter loves baking, but Zuckerberg himself isn’t very knowledgeable about it. To solve this problem, he has tasked his AI agent, “Muse,” with finding an easy baking project for every Sunday. This agent selects recipes that the father and daughter can easily prepare together. Furthermore, the AI also manages the process of creating a list of essential items before Sunday and ordering home delivery via the Instacart app. When Zuckerberg had trouble making cake pops with AI It’s not always necessary that an AI’s plan be perfect. Zuckerberg laughingly shared an anecdote in which his AI agent once suggested making cake pops, which later proved to be too difficult for him. After the baking is complete, they even provide feedback to their AI on how the experience went. Zuckerberg jokingly warned, “Never, ever, ever start by making cake pops.” AI gets permission for daughter to go to the mountains Mark Zuckerberg even uses this AI agent to climb mountains with his eldest daughter. Many mountain climbers require special permits, which are only available online for a limited time. Zuckerberg has tasked his AI agent, “Muse,” to constantly monitor those websites and book permits as soon as they become available. Once the agent confirms the permit, Zuckerberg plans to take the day off from work and go trekking with his daughter. It also monitors fitness through cameras installed in the gym and provides feedback. In addition to his family, Mark Zuckerberg also uses this AI agent for his own fitness training. He has installed cameras in his mixed martial arts gym so that his AI agent can watch workout videos and analyze his form and stamina. Zuckerberg explains that sometimes this agent is quite harsh and blunt. Once, during training, when the AI became extremely tired, it simply said, after watching a video, “It looks like you’ve really given up.” Further in the news – Muse is part of Mark Zuckerberg’s AI vision, before this read Bhaskar Insight Question: What is the difference between an AI chatbot and an AI agent? Answer: The AI chatbot responds to a user’s question or command. For example, if you ask, “What is the cheapest flight from Delhi to New York?” the chatbot will provide you with flight options and prices. You then need to select and book your flight yourself. An AI agent can not only provide information but also perform tasks on the user’s behalf. For example, you can say, “Book me a flight to New York.” The agent can view flight options, open the website, fill out the form, and proceed with the booking process. For sensitive tasks, it can even obtain user consent. Muse is also an AI agent that can perform digital tasks like sending emails, booking travel, shopping online, and filling out forms. Question: How do muses get permission to work, and how safe is it? Answer: Muse can be connected to services like email, calendar, and shopping. Users can decide how much access to grant to each app. To do this, Meta has created the Muse Secure VM. A VM, or virtual machine, is a separate computer system running in the cloud. It stores user data and credentials for connected services. Muse works alongside a separate agent called Sentinel. Muse can only perform actions on the Internet if authorized by Sentinel. User permission can also be obtained before sensitive actions like sending email or making online purchases. Question: Does Muse see password and card information? Answer: According to Meta, no. Users’ passwords and payment details are stored in secure storage. Muse can access them, but cannot see this information. Users can also view an audit trail of Muse’s actions and subsequent actions. Part of Mark Zuckerberg’s AI vision Meta’s AI agent, Muse, is part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vision to make AI superintelligence accessible to everyone. He outlined his vision in a nearly 6,500-word essay published online last month. However, critics criticized the document as largely based on fantasy. According to Zuckerberg, Meta is moving toward an era where everyone will have AI tools to start new businesses, get help with PhD-level studies, and receive tailored lifestyle advice. Zuckerberg wrote that in the future, every person will have a personal AI agent that understands them, their goals, and their needs. This agent will be able to work 24 hours a day to help with things like relationships, health, career, money, household chores, and hobbies. He says such an agent will save people time by handling many of their essential tasks. This will allow people to spend more time on the things they enjoy and achieve things they would otherwise find difficult to do alone.
