Amazon has blocked Meta's Muse AI agent from shopping on its website, according to multiple reports. A popup message began appearing on Sunday for Muse users, stating that 'continued access by an unauthorized AI agent violates Amazon's Conditions of Use, to which our customers have agreed,' as reported by GeekWire. The Verge notes that Meta did not notify Amazon prior to the AI agent's use on the platform. Engadget adds that Amazon claims Muse poses a safety risk, though specific details about this risk were not provided. TechCrunch confirms that Muse is no longer permitted to shop on Amazon.com. The reasons behind Amazon's decision remain unclear, but the move highlights growing concerns about the use of AI agents on major online platforms.
