Meta removes Instagram AI image feature after privacy concerns over use of users’ photos

Meta has removed its Muse Image AI feature on Instagram after privacy concerns emerged over the use of public account content to create AI-generated images.

Meta has removed a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature on Instagram that allowed users to create fake or altered images using content from other public accounts after it faced criticism over privacy concerns.

However, the tool quickly attracted criticism because Instagram users were automatically included, meaning people with public accounts could have their images used to create AI-generated content without their direct approval.
