Meta Pulls New AI Image Feature After Backlash

🇺🇸 영어 원문

Meta has abruptly taken down a new feature that allowed people to use its artificial intelligence (AI) tool to make fake images from user content on Instagram. The feature was part of a broad rollout of Muse Image, a new AI image generation tool Instagram’s parent company released on Tuesday. It allowed users of the Meta AI chatbot to tag public-facing accounts on Instagram and quickly use content on those accounts to create AI-generated or altered content and images. The feature quickly sparked blowback due to privacy concerns, leading Meta to admit it had “missed the mark” so it was “no longer available”. Muse Image was the tech firm’s first foray into AI image generation but faced backlash as Instagram users were opted in by default. It meant that anyone with a public account could have their likeness used without their knowledge or permission. Hollywood union Sag-Aftra described the U-turn as a “win”. It had previously urged its members and “all Instagram users” to take action to protect their likeness stating that there had been an “utter miscalculation of public sentiment regarding the obvious dangers and harms inherent in such use”. The London-based human rights charity Privacy International had also criticised the feature, telling the BBC it was “the latest sign AI companies see people’s images and data as raw material to be exploited”. “Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way,” Meta added in its decision to pull the feature. “We’ve heard the feedback.” When Meta announced Muse Image, the firm said it was limited to Instagram, but more AI features and integrations were planned for WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger.

🇰🇷 한국어 요약

메타(Meta)가 인스타그램 사용자의 콘텐츠를 무단으로 AI 이미지 생성에 활용하는 새로운 기능을 급히 중단했습니다. 이 기능은 메타 AI 챗봇을 통해 공개된 계정의 이미지를 태그하고 이를 바탕으로 AI 가 생성하거나 변형된 이미지를 만들 수 있게 했으나, 사생활 침해 우려로 큰 반발을 샀습니다. 사용자의 동의 없이 자신의 모습이 이용될 수 있다는 문제점이 제기되었고, 할리우드 배우 노조와 인권 단체들도 이를 비판했습니다. 메타는 “우리는 대중의 감정을 잘못 판단했다”며 기능을 제거했다고 밝혔습니다. 이는 AI 기술 발전 과정에서 개인의 권리와 프라이버시가 얼마나 중요한지 보여주는 사례입니다.
