META MUSE SPARK
META has launched a new AI agent, which seems rather targeted to help individuals follow their health personal data and check possible suspicions. META here comes back to ist B2C origins. Whatever the performance of the tool, it is probable that sooner or later META will meet the same issues as the suppliers of connected watches: is this a “medical apparatus” ? If yes , the system will be requested to comply with some regulations. If the answer is NO (as in the watches’ case), will users stick to using the tool ?
NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT ANTHROPIC CLAUDE CODE
Further to the leak of some parts of CLAUDE code, questions arise. CLAUDE includes two agents named KAIROS and AUTODREAM. The first one can run even when the user of the IT system has switched off its machine. The second is designed to run only when the system is inactive. Both tools can act without the explicit consent of the user, and the second can for instance decide to “clean up” the memory. How far is this from an APT (Advanced Persistent Threat)? Who will control the impact of such agents ? CLAUDE code has some real interest, for instance in detecting defaults in code and misconfigurations. Should the findings lead to automatic actions without human control?
