Outcry as Meta lets users make AI images from public Instagram profile pics
The tech giant said people can opt out - but privacy campaigners called it a "recipe for disaster".
AI Summary
Meta's new AI tool Muse Image can generate pictures using other people's public Instagram profile pictures without telling them, though the company says users can opt out via a separate setting. Privacy campaigners and advocates have criticized the feature as a "recipe for disaster" and a "privacy landmine," citing concerns over non-consensual AI-altered images. The tool is available to US users on Meta's platforms and faces heightened regulatory scrutiny amid broader concerns about AI-generated imagery.
