Meta has introduced Muse Image, an AI image generation tool that uses public Instagram photos and reels by default to create AI-generated content. Users can @-mention Instagram accounts to incorporate specific profiles into generated images. The opt-out nature of this feature raises significant privacy and consent concerns for individuals and organisations with public Instagram presences.
Security Architect’s Take: Audit your organisation’s public Instagram accounts and review Meta’s privacy settings to opt out of Muse Image training and generation if this conflicts with your data governance or brand protection policies. Consider updating your social media acceptable use policy to address AI-generated content misuse of corporate imagery.
