My name is Shane Cahill, and I'm an AI Policy Director at Meta.
At Meta, we are committed to delivering personal superintelligence safely and securely while making it widely available.
So that it empowers people in ways that improve their lives.
We just released Muse, the world's first personal AI agent built for everyone.
We created Muse with safety, security, and privacy built in from the beginning.
To be a widely available personal AI agent for people and small businesses, like the more than 180,000 small businesses right there in New York City.
New Yorkers across all walks of life are using Muse to execute administrative goals or tasks, manage personal or operational budgets, improve health, and be more efficient with their time.
Superintelligence will be among the most important technologies in history.
And ensuring that New York and America lead in AI innovation is essential to our prosperity, security, and global competitiveness.
We recognize that every model developer has a responsibility to build
and deploy it safely.
