Meta launches Muse image using Instagram public posts by default
Meta just dropped Muse Image, an AI tool that creates images from your prompts using Instagram data, including photos from public accounts and even strangers.
This has people worried about privacy, so Instagram updated its policy: by default, your public posts can be used for these AI features unless you opt out.
Users can opt out via settings
If you want to keep your content out of AI tools like Muse Image, you can set your account to private or turn off "Sharing and reuse" in settings.
Right now, Muse Image is built into Instagram Stories for users in the US and in some territories to WhatsApp, with plans to roll out the AI functionality on Facebook soon.
Meta says Muse Image has built-in safeguards against creating harmful or inappropriate content.
Plus, a video version called Muse Video is coming up next: details still under wraps.
