Meta is testing its Muse outbound-calling feature by routing some calls to human call-center agents rather than having Muse place the calls entirely by itself. The human-agent layer was referenced in a Sept. 16, 2026 beta expansion for US business outbound calls. As a result, Meta’s “AI agent” calls may involve human handling of user requests, raising internal concerns about privacy, user disclosure, and negative public perception before any public rollout.
AgreeGuard launched a free Chrome extension that summarizes website terms and conditions before a user clicks to accept them.

The change is that users can get highlighted red flags like auto-renewals, hidden fees, and data-selling risks without creating an account, using AI to do the reading.
Soma Reality is preparing to launch consumer eye-tracking glasses under its Luchs Eyewear brand in 2027, after developing cognitive-state algorithms for B2B use. The company says the glasses are scheduled for 2027 and are designed to work without prompts or a subscription. This move shifts its focus toward self-observation and a citizen-science data-sharing model based on wearer-only inward sensors rather than outward camera glasses.
A whistleblower dispute and later lawsuits show Mark Zuckerberg privately pushed back on making child-safety messaging his top focus while steering discussion toward building the metaverse and future AI efforts.

That focus results in Meta pivoting its AR/glasses push toward “AI glasses” and releasing Muse, while facing growing public backlash over privacy and misuse.
