1Password is tying AI-agent access to individual tasks, with chief technology officer Nancy Wang describing agents as hybrid identities that require just-in-time authorization.

Meta says Muse runs in a secure virtual machine, but the article questions whether the company’s privacy history will affect consumer trust.
