Contributors will have to disclose whether their work was made using AI, and are not allowed rip off artists
Adobe will sell AI-generated images on its stock image platform, despite concerns the technology raises potential copyright issues, the company announced on Monday.
Generative AI systems, like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, have taken the internet by storm. Trained on a gargantuan amount of data scraped from the internet, these models can create images given a text description. Some people have used the tools to mimic artists’ styles, leading many to question whether AI-generated content can violate copyright laws.
If AI art violates copyright laws, can they be used for commercial purposes? If customers purchase a copyrighted image produced by AI off Adobe Stock, are they legally liable? These questions are yet to be answered definitively, considering there hasn’t been a major AI copyright claim challenged in courts yet.
