Adobe announced that it is opening its stock image service to creations made with the help of productive artificial intelligence programs such as Dall-E and Stable Diffusion.
Some see emerging AI creation tools as a threat to jobs. At its Max conference in October, Adobe outlined the broad role it sees genetic AI playing in the future of content creation, saying it sees AI as a complement to, not a replacement for, artists.
Adobe now accepts images submitted by artists that have made use of artificial intelligence on the same terms as other works, but requires that they be labeled as such.
He quietly began testing such images before officially announcing this move. Adobe Senior Director Sarah Casillas said: "we were pleasantly surprised by the results", "they meet our quality standards and perform well".
Others take a more conservative approach. Getty Images, for example, said in September that it would not accept contributions using genetic artificial intelligence, citing legal risks.
Adobe, by contrast, is comfortable with the legal risk. While creators are required to confirm that they have the proper rights to the works they submit, it will indemnify buyers of stock images in the event of legal challenges.
This is important since there are a number of unanswered questions about artificial intelligence, including whether the people whose projects have been involved in training AI systems have a legal claim to the systems or projects they produce.
