Amazon has cut off Meta's newly launched Muse AI agent from its e-commerce platform, saying the tool accessed the site and handled user credentials without disclosing that it was an AI agent acting on a shopper's behalf. Amazon says it asked Meta to withdraw Muse from Amazon's store, but Meta refused, prompting Amazon to now show users a pop-up blocking Muse's shopping attempts. Amazon says similar action will apply to shopping agents from Google and OpenAI.
