This Tuesday, Meta officially launched Muse, a personal artificial intelligence agent designed specifically for users aged 18 and above, whose core purpose is to assist users with everyday tasks such as scheduling and shopping, and, in Meta's own words, to further help users "translate long-term goals into actionable plans."
Meta於本週二正式推出了一款專為18歲及以上用戶設計的個人人工智慧代理Muse,其核心宗旨是協助用戶處理諸如日程編排、購物等日常事務,並按照Meta自身的表述,進一步協助用戶「將長期目標轉化為切實可行的行動計劃」。
The parent company of Instagram and Facebook is placing particular emphasis on the agent's security and privacy features, with Muse currently being available exclusively within the United States.
這家Instagram與Facebook的母公司正著重強調該代理程式在安全與隱私方面的功能,目前Muse僅限於美國境內提供。
Meta points out that Muse operates on a dedicated secure virtual machine, which simultaneously hosts both the agent and user data.
Meta指出,Muse運行於一個專屬的安全虛擬機上,該虛擬機同時承載代理程式及用戶資料。
Users can interact with the agent through a standalone application called Muse, and can also communicate with it on the WhatsApp platform.
使用者可透過名為Muse的獨立應用程式與代理進行互動,亦可於WhatsApp平台與其交流。
This agent is not only capable of handling simple tasks such as sending emails or booking trips, but is also adept at more ambitious long-term objectives, such as devising a year-long fitness regimen or laying the groundwork for a startup venture.
此代理不僅能處理諸如發送電子郵件或預訂旅程等簡易事務,更能勝任較為宏大的長期目標,例如規劃為期一年的健身方案,抑或籌劃創業事宜。
"Once a user articulates their objectives to Muse, the system proceeds to devise a bespoke plan tailored to them, orchestrating time and resources, and subsequently propelling the task progression autonomously.
「一旦用戶向Muse闡明其目標,該系統便會著手為其量身打造專屬計畫,統籌調度時間與資源,進而自主驅動任務進程。
It can launch browsers, fill out forms on their behalf, and engage in negotiations representing the user," Meta stated in a blog post.
它能開啟瀏覽器、代為填寫表單,並代表用戶進行交涉談判,」Meta於部落格文章中如此表示。
At the most fundamental level, AI agents operate in a manner akin to conventional human-written programs, carrying out tasks such as launching applications.
在最基本的層面上,人工智慧代理的運作方式與傳統的人類編寫程式相似,執行如啟動應用程式等任務。
However, when integrated with large language models, it can search for knowledge and accomplish tasks without explicit step-by-step instructions.
然而,結合大型語言模型後,它能搜尋知識,在沒有明確逐步指示的情況下完成任務。
This implies that it can not only assist with the language of drafting an email but, in theory, manage the entire process—receiving a colleague's message, discerning what you might intend to convey, and sending a reply on its own.
這意味著,它不僅能協助起草電子郵件的語言,理論上還能處理整個流程——接收同事的訊息,釐清你可能想表達的內容,並自行發送回覆。
For Meta, this agent aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's grand vision of AI superintelligence, which aims to make it accessible to "everyone."
對Meta而言,該代理符合執行長馬克·祖克柏對AI超級智能的宏圖願景,即讓「每個人」皆能觸及。
Last month, he published a 6,500-word treatise online, elaborating in detail on his vision.
他上個月於網路發布了一篇長達6,500字的論述,詳盡闡述其構想。
In this article, dismissed by critics as wildly fanciful, Zuckerberg stated that his company is striving toward an era in which everyone will have access to tools for launching businesses, obtaining doctoral-level advice, and receiving personalized life guidance.
在這篇被批評者斥為天馬行空的文章中,祖克柏表示,他的公司正戮力邁向一個時代,屆時人人皆能擁有開創事業、獲取博士級諮詢,以及獲得個人化生活指引的工具。
Everyone will possess an exceptionally powerful personal agent, one capable of discerning your innermost self, your aspirations, and all that you hold dear.
每個人都將擁有一個異常強大的個人代理,它能洞悉你、你的抱負,以及你所珍視的一切。
Your agent will operate around the clock, striving to optimise facets of your life such as interpersonal relationships, physical well-being, career progression, financial planning, household management, and personal pursuits,” Zuckerberg wrote.
你的代理將全天候運作,致力於優化你的人際關係、健康狀況、職涯發展、財務規劃、家庭管理與個人嗜好等層面,」祖克柏寫道。
“It will free up your time, enabling you to immerse yourself in what you love, and assist you in achieving far more than you could have accomplished on your own.”
「它將為你騰出時間,讓你能盡情投入所愛之事,並助你成就遠超乎原本所能達成的目標。」
