Meta has launched "Muse Image," a new AI image-generation feature that allows users to create and edit images within its apps. The feature has sparked controversy because it enables users to generate AI images using photos from public Instagram accounts. As long as a profile is public, other users can tag that account and use their images in AI-generated creations, without notifying the account owner. Only private accounts and those belonging to users under 18 are automatically excluded. The article provides instructions on how to opt out of this feature. The controversy comes amid broader public skepticism about AI, with a Pew Research Center survey finding 35% of respondents more concerned than excited about AI. Meta's track record on privacy, including a $5 billion FTC fine in 2019 related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, has also fueled skepticism about the new feature.
