Meta’s Muse Tries (and Fails) to Disrupt Amazon

Meta's new personal AI agent, Muse, has surpassed ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok AI in U.S. iOS downloads, exceeding 2.5 million since its debut. Despite this growth, Amazon has blocked Muse from shopping on its platform, citing privacy concerns and unauthorized AI access. This move mirrors previous blocks on Perplexity and OpenAI. Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora suggests this conflict signals a larger, anticipated battle between major tech firms regarding agentic AI and web access.
