Andrew Miles Davis covers a week of AI news led by Meta's launch of Muse Image, a tool that allows anyone to generate AI images of real people from their public Instagram profile without notification or consent, which is already under scrutiny globally and defaults to opt-in for any public account. He also covers the story of Tilly Norwood, an entirely AI-generated actress created by UK company Particle Six who is set to star in a feature length film, prompting an immediate response from the actors' union SAG-AFTRA.
