Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Meta’s AI agent, meant to streamline data access, ended up sharing sensitive info with the wrong people. Because what could go wrong with AI handling sensitive data? The company is “investigating” and “taking steps” to prevent it from happening again. Meanwhile, users are left wondering what other surprises Meta’s AI has in store for them. This is the kind of “innovation” that feels like a rerun.
