00:00What if someone could create AI images based on your Insta photos and you didn't even
00:04know about it?
00:06That's exactly what Meta's new AI image model Moose allowed users to do.
00:10By simply mentioning a public Instagram account in the prompt, people could use the photos
00:15to generate AI images.
00:17After a huge backlash, Meta pulled the feature.
00:20But why?
00:21Meta never asked users for permission or notified them.
00:24They had to actively opt out as the feature was enabled by default.
00:28Many people had no idea their photos could be used in this tool.
00:32Critics warned the feature drastically lowered the barrier for deepfakes, impersonation and
00:38targeted harassment.
00:39Just three days after the launch, Meta removed the feature, saying it had missed the mark.
00:44According to the UN, the race to ship new AI models is moving way faster than the rules
00:49meant to protect users.
00:51Experts argue companies need to be more transparent about how they use your photos and personal
00:57data.
00:57And public trust is already fragile.
01:00A recent study across 25 countries found that only 16% of people globally and in India are
01:06more excited than concerned about AI.
01:08If your photos could be used to help generate AI images, should you be asked for permission?
