Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that his personal AI agent, Muse, does not hold back when critiquing his mixed martial arts training, even calling him out for slacking off during a round.
Speaking with Tiffany Zhong on the show Tiff In Tech, Zuckerberg discussed Muse, the personal AI agent built by Meta Superintelligence Labs. Asked to share specific examples of how he personally uses the technology, Zuckerberg brought up health and training.
“Then there’s all this health stuff. I use it for training. You know, I’m really into MMA. I put cameras in my MMA gym and I ask it to just kind of watch the cameras when I’m training and in between rounds give me feedback so I can do better. So that’s pretty cool.”
Zuckerberg said Muse can determine what type of training he is doing without him having to tell it.
“It kind of figures out what I’m doing if I’m like boxing or kickboxing or just doing grappling and kind of like gives me feedback.”
That feedback can apparently be fairly blunt.
“And sometimes the feedback is pretty funny ”
“It’s like, oh, you were kind of lazy that round. And then the (picture) that it sends me is like me just on my back on the ground. Like, come on. It’s like, can’t you have picked something more motivational to highlight for me.”
Zuckerberg also explained how Muse connects his training sessions with other health and fitness data.
“But that’s pretty cool, and it kind of connects to my aura ring data, the other kind of health tracking data, other like lifting and stuff that I do, so that way it just kind of helps me balance all of the stuff to keep stay healthy.”
He said training is important to him because of the effect staying active has on the rest of his life.
“Which is kind of like just important in my life overall, cuz I feel like if I don’t get a chance to burn the energy and stay active, then you know, everything else suffers.”
Later in the interview, Zuckerberg returned to health and training when discussing the types of tasks people could increasingly hand over to personal AI agents.
“I think we see a lot of people using it for health-related things, right? So there’s a lot of the simpler things around wellness and training, which you know, we talked about earlier, like exercise, sleep.”
