Meta’s new Muse Image AI can create new AI images from your Instagram photos without permission. Know how to avoid this threat to privacy and stop AI face cloning.
Meta Muse Image AI: Do you know that while you are sleeping peacefully at night, some unknown person sitting in some corner of the world can create exact fake pictures of your face just by typing your name? Tech giant Meta has taken such a step in the world of social media this week, which has given sleepless nights to millions of users. Meta’s ‘Superintelligence Labs’ has launched its first in-house AI picture-generation model – Muse Image. The tool is currently live in the Meta AI app, Instagram Stories, and WhatsApp, and will soon be rolled out to Facebook and Messenger. This tool can do amazing things like writing text, mixing images, and creating working QR codes. But, a dreadful suspense hidden behind it has now become a headache for every user.
That dangerous secret of ‘Public Tagging’: Your face belongs to someone else without your permission!
A dangerous loophole (weakness) regarding privacy has come to light in this new tool, which has surprised even the security experts. If your Instagram account is ‘public’, any user in the world can simply go to Meta AI’s prompt box and ‘tag’ your account. By doing this, this vicious AI system will steal your face and appearance from your profile pictures without your permission and without sending you any notification or information. After this, it will combine your face with any stranger or strange background and create a new AI generated photo. The scariest thing is that you will never even know where your face is being used on the internet, until it turns around and suddenly appears in front of you.
