Meta’s Muse Image AI model caught in controversy within hours of launch

Meta has announced its most aggressive push into the consumer AI creative space with the launch of Muse Image. Simultaneously, the company also released a sneak peek of Muse Video, the company’s AI video creation space. Developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), the high-stakes AI division headed by Meta’s Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, the Muse suite now puts all the cutting-edge generative AI creativity tools directly into the hands of billions of Meta’s consumers.

To make Muse Image immediately accessible to a wider user base, Meta chose to skip a standalone app and integrate it into WhatsApp, Instagram Stories, and its Meta AI chatbot.
