Meta u-turns on AI feature amid privacy backlash

Meta has removed the Muse Image AI model from Instagram shortly after its debut. The feature, marketed as a creative partner for generating photos, allowed users to modify images from public accounts without notifying the original owners. Following immediate backlash and scrutiny from users and talent agencies, including CAA, the company announced the removal via a blog post on Friday. This decision follows concerns regarding privacy and the unauthorized use of public content.
