Meta Launches Muse Image Generator Amid User Backlash Over Photo Consent

Meta has launched Muse Image, a new generative AI image model aimed at advertising, creative design, and creator-driven applications. The tool is positioned to serve a range of commercial use cases, from decorating and branding to broader marketing and content production workflows.

The launch has already drawn pushback from users concerned that their photos may have been used without consent to train the model. The controversy touches on ongoing debates around data rights and transparency in how major platforms build generative AI systems.
