Instagram’s AI image generator alarms privacy experts

Meta's new AI image generator, Muse Image, can create pictures using faces from public Instagram profiles by default, raising privacy concerns among advocates. Users must opt out via settings to prevent their photos from being used, but critics argue this opt-out is difficult to find and unfairly burdens users. Meta states that private accounts and users under 18 are excluded, but questions remain about the use of images featuring children in public posts.
