On September 20, 2026, Meta's AI assistant Muse became embroiled in a privacy controversy after reports surfaced suggesting it may have accessed preview content of Mac notifications without user consent. Jason Aten, a contributing editor at Inc., alleged that despite not granting Muse permission to access the Messages app, the AI assistant was still able to respond to inquiries related to his messages, citing information purportedly gleaned from notification previews. In response, Meta executive David Singleton clarified that Muse operates only after users actively grant 'full disk access' and explicitly enable permissions for the Messages app, refuting claims that it monitors notifications in real-time. The conflicting accounts from both parties underscore the need for further investigation to ascertain the root cause of the incident.
