Meta announced at its Connect 2026 event that its Muse AI agent, which can browse the web, book travel, make calls, send emails and complete purchases, will be extended to its AI glasses. Users will activate Muse hands-free by voice, letting it run tasks in the background and report back once finished, with examples including booking appointments, checking flight prices, tracking down items, and logging workouts or meals.
Rabbit has launched OS3, a software platform that lets users control desktop computers via a local agent from a browser, Telegram, iMessage, or the R1 device. Users can link up to five computers to one account, and the system routes requests—such as editing a spreadsheet—to the right machine. Rather than charging a subscription, Rabbit requires users to supply their own API keys from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, or connect local open-source models.
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 mobile processors at its Snapdragon Summit, built on a 2nm process with dual 5GHz Oryon Prime cores. The chips bring notable CPU, GPU and NPU gains over the prior generation, alongside power efficiency improvements, and will ship in upcoming flagship phones from brands including Honor, Motorola, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi. Qualcomm emphasized AI agent capabilities, such as automated video sorting and location-based notifications, as the lineup's central feature.
Cisco Talos researchers released an open-source system called CAIRN designed to detect and classify malware that relies on artificial intelligence for decision-making. Using the tool, they identified a new strain, CLOSEDQUORUM, which queries up to four large language models to determine its next actions inside a compromised system rather than following pre-programmed commands.
Amazon has cut off access for Meta's newly launched Muse AI shopping agent, showing users a pop-up citing violations of its Conditions of Use. Muse, introduced on Sept. 8, was designed to handle tasks like online purchases, but Amazon says unauthorized third-party agents must operate transparently and respect merchants' choice to participate.
Amazon has cut off access for Meta's Muse AI shopping agent, displaying a popup that says unauthorized AI agents violate its Conditions of Use. According to GeekWire, Meta never informed Amazon that Muse would browse its store, and Amazon raised concerns that Muse doesn't identify itself while browsing and appears to capture customer credentials without disclosure.
Cisco says many organizations already have AI agents operating without proper identities, owners, or access controls, often connected directly to production systems by developers without IT's knowledge. The company's identity product lead, Matt Caulfield, is developing Duo Agentic Identity to address this gap as traditional identity and access management tools were never designed for autonomous, machine-speed actors.
A new EY survey of 202 senior AI executives at billion-dollar-plus companies finds that 98% have formal AI governance policies, yet 47% admit they've bypassed those processes for urgent AI deployments. Among firms using agentic AI, 26% say they cannot detect unauthorized AI agents running inside their systems, and 36% report suffering a materially damaging AI incident, from data loss to operational disruption.
Meta has launched a Mac version of its AI assistant Muse, allowing it to interact directly with a user's files, messages, calendar, notes and mail within their native apps. The desktop release follows Muse's earlier debut on mobile and web this month, where it quickly climbed to the top of U.S. App Store rankings.
Spain's Data Protection Agency (AEPD) disclosed that an organization reported a breach in which an attacker used a mainstream language model to locate weak credentials and exploit an application flaw. The AI agent reportedly enabled the attacker to access corporate invoices and modify personal data records, though the organization and hacker remain unnamed.
Mastercard has signed a new deal aimed at letting AI-driven shopping agents complete purchases using customer payment credentials. The move comes as rivals Visa and American Express are also preparing their own systems to support autonomous, AI-powered shopping bots.
Security researchers have identified a novel attack technique, dubbed BragJack, that exploits agentic AI assistants embedded directly in web browsers. The attack allows malicious actors to manipulate these assistants into accessing sensitive user information, performing unauthorized actions, and exfiltrating data without the user's knowledge.
