Bank of America warns that Meta's new Muse AI agent, capable of handling shopping and payments, could bypass Apple's App Store and payment systems, threatening Apple's services revenue.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI systems (Meta's Muse shopping agent and Apple's Siri AI) and their use in online commerce. The analyst's warning highlights a plausible risk that Meta's AI agent could shift commerce activity away from Apple, potentially harming Apple's business ecosystem. This constitutes a credible potential harm stemming from AI use, but no realized harm or incident is reported. Therefore, this is best classified as an AI Hazard, reflecting a plausible future harm scenario related to AI system use in commerce.[AI generated]
