MeitY to examine Meta’s AI tool Muse amid privacy concerns

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) will examine whether Meta’s newly launched artificial intelligence tool, Muse, complies with India’s legal framework amid growing privacy concerns, Secretary S. Krishnan said on Thursday.

“The government will see if Muse is in accordance with the legal framework or not. We will examine the representations we receive on the matter,” Krishnan told reporters on the sidelines of the CII GCC Summit, referring to concerns around Muse following reports that the AI tool can access or use content from public Instagram accounts.
