Meta has withdrawn an AI image-generation feature linked to public Instagram accounts after criticism over privacy concerns and automatic opt-in settings. The tool, launched through Meta AI, allowed users to create and edit images using public photos. SAG-AFTRA and other critics opposed the feature, demanding stronger user consent protections
Meta has discontinued an artificial intelligence image-generation feature launched through Instagram after facing criticism over privacy concerns and complaints that users were automatically enrolled without clear consent.
The feature, called Muse Image, was introduced earlier this week as the first image-generation model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs.
Integrated into Meta AI, the tool allowed users to generate images using photos as inputs and edit AI-created images through sketches and other modifications.
Meta said the purpose of the feature was to provide users with a creative tool while allowing them control over whether their publicly shared content could be used as references.
