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 used artificial intelligence on the same terms as other works, but requires that they be labeled as such.
It quietly began testing such images before officially announcing the move. Adobe Senior Director Sara Casillas said: «The results pleasantly surprised us,» «they meet our quality standards and perform well.».
Others are taking a more conservative approach. Getty Images, for example, said in September that it would not accept contributions that use genetic AI, citing legal risks.
Adobe, by contrast, is comfortable with the legal risk. While it requires creators to confirm that they have the appropriate rights to the works they submit, it will compensate buyers of stock images in the event of legal challenges.
This is important, given that there are a number of unanswered questions about artificial intelligence, including whether individuals whose projects have been involved in training AI systems have a legal claim to the systems or projects they produce.
