Meta Pulls New Instagram AI Image Tool Days After Backlash
Muse Image AI was marketed as a 'creative partner' but drew immediate privacy complaints
Meta pulled a newly launched artificial intelligence image-generation feature from Instagram on Friday, just days after unveiling it amid an immediate public backlash over privacy concerns, according to The Hill.
The company introduced the feature, called Muse Image AI, on Tuesday, marketing it as a "creative partner" that users could employ to generate AI-made photos for their social media pages, The Hill reported.
The rollout drew swift criticism before Meta withdrew the tool just days later, underscoring the sensitivity around AI features that touch personal images and data on major social platforms.
