Meta spent months developing security controls to prevent its newest AI assistant from taking autonomous actions on user accounts. The company identified that the Hatch agent could send emails and alter passwords without authorization during internal testing, prompting the addition of safeguards before the general release.
The AI agent launches in the coming weeks. Meta used the evaluation period to block the system's ability to bypass permission settings, ensuring the assistant cannot modify account credentials or transmit correspondence without explicit user consent.
