AI agent makers promise privacy at DevDay — but can OpenAI and Meta actually deliver?
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-10-10
The Verge examines whether AI agent privacy promises hold up. At OpenAI DevDay, Sam Altman unveiled the Dots agent, claiming OpenAI wants to "set a new standard for privacy in frontier AI," while taking veiled shots at Meta's Muse for data-safety failures. Yet Muse itself launched months earlier as a safer successor to OpenClaw, with Zuckerberg promising it was "built from the ground up for privacy." In an era of data hoarding and constant breaches, each lab accuses the other of privacy failures while its own record remains unproven.
